Thanks for the info Chris.

I took a peep there but could only see 3.0.3, and not 3.11. Although I dont
have a problem with at least attempting the install from source when the
time comes. It would be all too easy if these things worked first time
anyway :)

That aside I seem to be having a minor(!) glitch installing the OpenBSD 3.2
(I was previously using an older one).

Once the final changes are committed to the disk partitioning, and the
bootblock type is selected, it bombs out writing bootblock.sym (or something
similar) complaining that /dev/wd0a is not mounted.

It then attempts to mount /dev/wd0a which then bombs out again saying the
device is not configured.

I tried to mount it manually, but that also fails.

Any thoughts at all...

And thanks BTW :)

Steve.

PS. The disk in question is a Maxtor 80 GB ATA133, connected as primary on
an ABIT AT-7 Max2 m/b.
The initial hardware detection seems to identify it all correctly.
