Default booting problems

Hi all,

I just installed OpenBSD 3.4 and am having a few problems booting into it.

I have 2 hard drives in my computer, the second is just used for storage,
the first is split in to 3 partitions, first partition is WinXP, second is
just another storage drive and the last part is where I installed OpenBSD
to, creating /, swap, /usr, /var, /usr/X11R6, /home and /tmp totaling 21gig

I installed easyboot but this won't let me boot into OpenBSD, I get 3
options F1, F2 and F5. F1 is my WinXP, and F2 doesn't do much of anything,
as it has 3 question marks beside it (???), as for F5 that says 'Disk 1' and
when pressed I only get the options F2 and F5. F2 being WinXP and F5 being
'Disk 0'.

I tried to use the boot disk and enter hd0a:/bsd to boot from the harddrive,
but this didn't work either, PowerQuest's boot program doesn't seem to show
any other bootable drives except for the WinXP one.

Any input would be great

Thanks,
MwnN
