You set Windows to be active so that the BIOS boots Window's bootloader (NTLDR), and then that reads C:\boot.ini and sees the options for the second stage bootloader: "Windows" "OpenBSD.pbr" and then it jumps into one of those. It's true, you could use GAG or GRUB or LILO or something else, but doesn't it seem more elegant to just rely on the base systems? The hardest part about doing this is using dd properly to slice out openbsd.pbr because it's one of those cases where if you get almost any character wrong then it'll seem to work until you paste it into Windows and try to use it and at best it mysteriously hangs, at worst it sings the death chant of kalla-kern and zombies rise from under your server room tiles. -Nick
Re: Multiboot Windows XP + OpenBSD doesnt work
Thank you, that works! I follow your tips, but I reformatted my windows partition with FAT32 and then I made the openbsd.pbr and put it in C: and made an entry in the boot.ini and now it works --thacrazze (is happy) On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 3:51 AM, Andrew Dalgleish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 9:15 AM, thacrazze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I put the openbsd.pbr to C: and made an entry in the C:/boot.ini >> >> After a reboot I can select the OpenBSD boot entry, but it doesn't starts >> I get only a black screen with some cryptical characters/symbols >> >> Then I testet in Windows "BootPart", which was recommended in the FAQ >> and that says: >> >> Physical numer of disk 0 : 33fa33f9 >> 0 : C:* type=7 , size=10241406 KB, Lba Pos=63 >> 1: C: type=a6 , size= 21213832 KB, Lba Pos=20482875 >> >> Can someone help me how to start OpenBSD correctly? > > > The first thing is to check your install actually boots. > Boot from an OpenBSD floppy or CD, and at the "boot" prompt type: > boot hd0a:/bsd > > > If that boots ok: > Use fdisk to set the OpenBSD partition active and try booting from the > hard disk. > > > If the hard disk boots ok > Use dd to copy the OpenBSD partition boot record onto a fat format usb > stick (your main drive is NTFS) > Use fdisk to set the windows partition active. > Reboot into windows. > Copy the PBR from your USB stick > Edit boot.ini > > If that fails, post your full dmesg, disklabel and fdisk of wd0. > (I'm guessing that your wd0a is not at the start of the partition) > > > You do NOT need grub > You do NOT need gag > You do NOT need wunderboot-of-the-week. > The OpenBSD partition should NOT be marked active if you are trying to > use the NT boot loader. > Make sure the line-endings in boot.ini are all CR-LF. > > You can set up OpenBSD to dual-boot with XP or Vista without any extra tools. > (Vista is not as simple as editing boot.ini, it is not particularly > hard either.)

Re: Multiboot Windows XP + OpenBSD doesnt work
I put the openbsd.pbr to C: and made an entry in the C:/boot.ini After a reboot I can select the OpenBSD boot entry, but it doesn't starts I get only a black screen with some cryptical characters/symbols Then I testet in Windows "BootPart", which was recommended in the FAQ and that says: Physical numer of disk 0 : 33fa33f9 0 : C:* type=7 , size=10241406 KB, Lba Pos=63 1: C: type=a6 , size= 21213832 KB, Lba Pos=20482875 Can someone help me how to start OpenBSD correctly? --thacrazze On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 12:30 AM, thacrazze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks!
