 openbsd sgi install won't boot on O2 I just tried installing openbsd 4.3 on an SGI O2. I made the "a" partition start at sector 3135, just like in the instructions and made that the root partition. I made the "b" partition the swap partition, and allocated the swap as twice the ram. I made no other partitions. When I boot it says "Boot file not found on device: pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)/sash. Autoboot failed. What did I do wrong?      |

You forgot to change the OSLoader prom environment variable from ``sash'' to ``boot''. And while there, check the OSLoadFilename variable is set to ``/bsd''. |
