hello,

i have openbsd on the first partition on my hard drive, and windows xp on
the second partition.
i made the windows partition active.

this is the command that i used to get the openbsd's mbr:

dd if=/dev/rwd0c of=mbr count=1

i copied the file "mbr" to my windows partition and added the following line
in to c:\boot.ini

c:\mbr=openbsd

when i select this line from the ntldr menu, nothing happens, it just shows
the menu again.

apparently my mbr file is wrong because when i created one using Gilles
Vollant's bootpart (http://www.winimage.com) and used it, it loaded openbsd
successfully.

i can use the mbr file created by bootpart but i would like to understand
what i was doing wrong...

please help.

thanks
konstantin
