Hi,

I use fresh install, entire disk for OpenBSD, and but manuall partitioned 
since it's a small disk.

My disklabel and wd0i partition look like:

# disklabel wd0                       
# /dev/rwd0c:
type: ESDI
disk: ESDI/IDE disk
label: FUJITSU MHS2030A
uid: 2b6c4ae49a2fe27a
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 16
sectors/cylinder: 1008
cylinders: 58140
total sectors: 58605120
boundstart: 4096
boundend: 58605120
drivedata: 0 

16 partitions:
#                size           offset  fstype [fsize bsize  cpg]
  a:         56503424          2101696  4.2BSD   2048 16384    1 # /
  b:          2097584             4096    swap                   
  c:         58605120                0  unused                   
  i:             2048                1   MSDOS                   
# mount -t msdos -o -l /dev/wd0i /mnt 
# ls /mnt                             
OFWBOOT
# ls -l /mnt
total 128
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  63648 Dec  6 21:13 OFWBOOT
# 

I didn't move or copy anything, the OpenBSD installer did the right thing.

I did set the boot variables to 
hd:,ofwboot
and
/bsd

It does consistantly the right thing for me.

cheers
