I accidentally abandoned a post and reply to the list about an error with 
installing OpenBSD on VirtualBox, so I wanted to restart it and promise to 
attend to it and use any help given to the best of my ability. I've tried 
messing with the configuration options and have had no success. Do you know of 
any configuraton options that i might be overlooking that could fix this 
problem? Thank you.

THE REPLY

Yes, we’ve seen this before. The message pops up when the boot loader is unable 
to find a kernel, for whatever reason.

It would be helpful to get a bit more context such as what hardware is involved 
or likely what options you set up for the VM’s storage.

It’s been a while since I had to work around something like this myself, but 
the scenario back then involved old hardware with firmware  that did not easily 
or at all see beyond a certain number of cylinders and so needed the kernel to 
be within that range.

I suspect trying again with different configuration options given to the VM 
pre-install is what you need to do.

All the best,
