Re: dual boot windows2000 pro / OBSD3.1

["Welraeds, Grégoire" <WelraedsG@logica.com>]

Here is a new status of my problem. I have downloaded GAG and installed it
on a floppy. At first time, GAG did not see the OBSD partition. That was due
to the fact that I forgot set the A6 OpenBSD flag on the partition. So I
went back to the complete install on wd0.
and restarted. Now gag see the openBSD partition and I'm able to boot the
partition.

but the booting procedure stops at the boot> prompt trying to fetch the
kernel from some hd0* disk.

I tried the following:
boot> boot wd0a:bsd
-> failed
boot> boot wd0a:/bsd
-> failed

My questions are:
1/ why does OBSD tried to boot from hd0* where I only have a wd0* disk (is
that some kind of link)
2/ what can I do ? I don't know what to do now or where to look to have my
OBSD booting.
3/ Is it valuable a this stage that I send the dmesg output (the one I have
when I boot from the install floppy which booting correctly ) ?

BTW, thanks to people that replied to my previous post

You can run GAG off of a floppy diskette without rewriting anyone's MBR
and save your install.
