Thanks, this worked fine. This method does require one possible change from the FAQ: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#Backup After restoring root and rebooting into single-user mode to restore the other partitions, ftp isn't available since we haven't yet restored /usr. Options are either to restore all partitions from the shell with ftp, or reboot into single-user mode and use some other means to restore the other partitions. I did the latter, using NFS. Thanks again. dn
