OpenBSD Install problem

[TotalSphere]

Ok, here it is. I install OpenBSD 2.8 onto my laptop. Everything is going good and when I am finally finished and reboot the laptop, the BIOS screen comes up and instead of *bsd booting up, it says this:

Using Drive: 0 Partition: 3

Can anyone offer a fix to this or tell me what this means? I did a reinstall from scratch and it gave me the same message. (The people on #openbsd on EFnet were no help at all) Thanks

The solution may sound like it's coming out of left field, but this is what solved the problem for me. Get a Win9x startup disk and boot off it. When you get to the a: prompt, type the command:
fdisk /mbr
The /mbr switch tells fdisk to rewrite the Master Boot Record on the first hard drive, but leaves the partition tables alone. On some hard drives the OBSD installer doesn't properly write the MBR, and refreshing it like this solves the issue.

So, when you say, "get a Windows 9x startup disk, it can be Win95, 98, or NT? I have Win98 on another computer. Would that work? So..when I get to the DOS prompt, I type in something like this?

a:>fdisk /mbr

Let me know if this is the correct way. Thanks for your help.

Slambo, you da man. Thanks. It worked.

Yup, any Win version should work. Glad to hear that it worked for you.
