Hi,

New to OpenBSD, I'm trying to use some unused space on my harddrive.
I added a label with disklabel.
Used to Linux, I was unable to format the label (does it need to be
formatted?). I tried to mount it, and I got: mount_ffs <snip>: device busy.

What should I do?

I'm also trying to boot from bsd.rd. I type boot wd0a:/bsd.rd, but that
doesn't work. The bsd.rd is wd0a. I tried /bsd.rd, but that did not work...

Thanks for the help!

tell us what you did? have to run newfs on a partition before you can
mount it.

how about just "bsd.rd"?
