OpenBSD boot fails
I am trying to install OpenBSD on a embedded computer (Soekris 4801). I successfully did a PXE installation and got the congratulations OpenBSD install message. However, when I do a reboot, I see the following message:
Code:
1 Seconds to automatic boot. Press Ctrl-P for entering Monitor. Using drive 0, partition 0. Loading..... probing: pc0 com0 pci mem[639K 127M a20=on] disk: hd0+ >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 3.21 switching console to com0 >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 3.21 boot> booting hd0a:/bsd: read header failed(0). will try /bsd boot> booting hd0a:/bsd: read header failed(0). will try /bsd Turning timeout off. "ls hd0a:\" I can see the bsd files. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Last edited by ocicat; 2nd July 2014 at 05:32 AM. Reason: Please use [code] & [/code] tags when posting command output. |

Is this a fresh installation or an upgrade from the previous version?
This is a fresh install. What version of OpenBSD is this? OpenBSD 5.4 Can you boot bsd.rd? Yes I can do bsd.rd after doing boot hd0a:/bsd.rd Are there more than one hard drive installed? No, as far as I know there is only one. |

Is there a reason for not installing OpenBSD 5.5 or -current? If you installing via PXE, all that will need to be replaced on the TFTP server is pxeboot & bsd.rd. Be sure that the versions of these two files come from the same release. This particular problem was discussed yesterday on misc@ from someone with PXE errors on an Alix system (yet another popular "embedded" alternative used by the many in the OpenBSD community...):
