Re: hang on reboot

Hi David,

First you might want to try the new builtin BIOS master boot loader, at
the monitor promt enter:

> boot :X

X can be 1 to 4, that will boot the X partition on the CF disk, assuming
that the partition table is still there.... I believe that OpenBSD for
some reason as default use partition 4, right ?

Soren
