Is rsd0a where you copied /usr/mdec/boot, and dies rsd0a start at the
same sector as rsd0c (the NetBSD slice)? A disklabel output would
be useful...

No MBR boot code in the partition table.

fdisk -i /dev/rvnd0

should resolve that I think.

i386/amd64 image generated trough mkimage stuck on primary bootsrap at boot

[br0nko]

Hi,

I wanted to resurrect an old i386 alix box, and I did follow the guide to 
create a custom image trough mkimage 
(https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-inst-media.html#chap-inst-media-creating-live-images).
 I did first try on amd64 so that I can first test on my laptop. Build was 
successful but when I boot the USB key, I'm stuck on primary bootstrap 
("NetBSD/x86 ffsv1 Primary Bootstrap"), no error. However I can boot it from 
grub (installed on the laptop hard-drive) , image is fully functional that way.

Here's what fdisk show:

=
bash-5.1# vndconfig vnd0 /home/phil/alix-netbsd.9.2.img
bash-5.1# fdisk -vv /dev/rvnd0
Disk: /dev/rvnd0
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 765, heads: 64, sectors/track: 32 (2048 sectors/cylinder)

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 98, heads: 255, sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 1568447

Partitions aligned to 16065 sector boundaries, offset 63

I did try to reinstall the primary bootstrap:

installboot -v -o timeout=5 /dev/rsd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1

But it didn't fix the problem either.
I'm running out of ideas, I don't really see what I'm missing. Any help would 
be highly appreciated.
