Installation seems to have went well, other than by the time I figured out that turning "LAN Boot whatsit" in the BIOS to "Disabled" would let it PXE boot, which I figured out while trying to figure out I had to spam ESC to get into a boot menu to boot off the USB stick, because setting removable drive ahead of the HDD doesn't work \o/.

I've done this twice (second time after deleting the first) with the same result:

Code:
C:\windows\system32>bcdedit /create /d "OpenBSD i386" /application bootsector

Note the whacky wrapping is because of copy/paste behaviour in CMD.


When I try to boot OpenBSD, it gives a message about \openbsd.pbr being missing or corrupt. I don't recall missing anything in the guide here or the FAQ (what I was oogling while doing). I have a picture on my phone that can be uploaded for reference but I don't think that's gonna help.

What am I missing here? I'd rather not have to reach for Ubuntu Netbook :-/
