Windows Host 32bit laptop with SSD storage
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. > I installed OpenBSD on Vbox and when I remove the installation media and > restart this is what returns.

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, Peter N. M. Hansteen

I installed OpenBSD on Vbox and when I remove the installation media and restart this is what returns. All my other BSD vms are working from this method except for OpenBSD Using drive 0, partition 3, No O/S - Anybody can help me fix this, has this happened to anybody else before. No solution found on reddit and other means.
