RE: hang on reboot

pcengines.com ide -> cf converters - they're cheap and awesome

as for the mbr stuff, just get a dos boot disk with fdisk.exe on it, =
boot with it, and type 'fdisk /mbr' - problem solved

Guys....I'll apologize up-front for being the Moron Of the Year...but =
I've
really monkey'ed by system up.  Was having this same ReBoot problem -
downloaded the 3.1 BootEasy program
(ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/OpenBSD/3.1/tools/booteasy/Boot.bin ) and issued
(according to the FAQ) the following to reinitilize the MBR:

fdisk -i -f /root/Boot.bin wd0

no errors...but when I reboot, I get the following:

 1 Seconds to automatic boot.   Press Ctrl-P for entering Monitor.

F4 . . . ??

Default: F?



But the machine now seems to be LOCKED?!?!  I've tried two different
terminal softwares to see if it was a problem with the term program NOT
being able to transmit a F4...no luck...any advice?  It seem I'll have =
to
connect the CF to an OpenBSD machine and redo - any advice on which CF
connection to get?

Thanks again - Dave
