Re: why don't I see anything in /altroot
AFAIK, /altroot should be set preferrably on a separate disk, or at least on a separate partition. My guess is that you don't have that on virtualbox. You are basically trying to dd the sole / of virtualbox' disk to itself, which is impossible. Again, AFAIK, someone might correct my misunderstanding.

Maybe also try running the dd command manually and see if there is an error - viz: # dd if=/dev/r$rootdev of=/dev/r$rootbak bs=16b seek=1 skip=1 conv=noerror Good Luck ___ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
