Hi all,

I have PC with two OpenBSD 4.2 - bootable harddisks. Clearly I can
boot from either of them by setting a boot sequence in BIOS or by
typing "boot hdXa:/bsd" in the boot prompt (X = 0 or 1).

What I want is to specify a boot hdd without boot-time user
intervention. Thus, imagine I run OpenBSD on hd0, I want to specify
what hd1 shell be used as bootable on the next reboot.

installboot(8) offers what I need, but it can't be used for cross-
device installboots.

If possible, I'd like to solve this without any dedicated bootloaders
like grub. If you convince me that using bootloader is better
alternative, I would not mind much.

Note that run everything in VMware, so I am not afraid to screw-up
things.

All suggestions are welcome.

Andrei
