My two cents (your mileage etc.) Having the system disk "just work (tm)" is
a good thing. Having it work in a secure and correct way seems like
something not so trivial. Perhaps linking at least root to the system disk
could be set as a boot option.
A combination of a uuid, boot options, and mount

the kernel is absolutely something i wouldn't touch, unless it's a
well documented and easy to follow tweak
but thanks for all the detailed info.

hi marco
no problemo, and thanks for the prompt replies. I'm just projecting
possibilities, trying to make it work for me. yet I'd like to avoid
looking for info that doesn't exist, which ironically takes the

I'm mildly interested in this issue. I had a system a while back where
my root fs drive was plugged into the mobo's sata port, but I had a PCI
sata card with a bunch of other drives on it. I only ran Linux on it

if the total number of drives in the system is not the same from boot
to boot, i have to tweak fstab.
is it possible for a future update of OpenBSD to tweak fstab to take
references to the boot drive?

You may get lucky by moving it to a different slot. Or you may not.
ng out the hard
device references in fstab I'm happy.

Right, assuming you don't have to change your boot device in BIOS all
you have to do is do it in fstab.

I just added a 4 port promise sata card and cannot figure a way of
forcing the sata ports on the motherboard to take precedence over the
sata pci card.
