hello

i did a fast install last week of openbsd 2.8 on intel machine.
But i did an mistake and i have 2 / partitions.
Only one has the kernel image and this is not the partition the boot try
to read first.
so each time i reboot the machine i have to do the followings command :

Quote:>set device hd0b
>boot bsd

Is there a elegant way to make the boot mechanism to directly read hd0b
instead of hd0a ?

please avoid to reply i have to reinstall it thx. :)

Just reinstall it. Just kidding (hee hee).

I've never done this before so take it for what it's worth. Boot into
single mode or from the boot floppy and exit into a shell. Run fdisk
and set the partition you want as bootable. Make sure you write the
changes and try rebooting. The changes should be written to your MBR.

I hope this helps and bon chance.
