Finally figured hot to get the machine on the net from the boot floppy.
And, i tried with much smaller partitions. But, still get the same problems.
I'm baffled dmesg and disklabel attached below.

This machine worked as a signle partition + swap partition (total 80G)
under 2.8.
I'm baffled.

OK, I tried this:

Treating sectors 63-160086528 as the OpenBSD portion of the disk.
You can use the 'b' command to change this.

I haven't done anything with ddb. Wouldn't know what I'm doing.

Any more suggestions?
