SOLUTION: Re: and niether bootloader nor booteasy shall work

["Que Bang" <quebang_(_at_)_hotmail_(_dot_)_com>]

Thanks to the many people that replied off list to me.  I have run into this 
issue twice now, both times with a different solution.

Problem: I have a large disk (20GB) and cannot boot from the mounted root 
partition.

Solution #1: Install booteasy.  Instructions are on the FAQ (here's one 
copy: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#D0P3)

Solution #2: Create a partitioning scheme that puts the root partition in 
the first 250MB of the disk.

ie: / 250MB
   /usr 12GB
   /home 6GB
   swap 1.7GB

(Partitioning is a work of fancy.  Everyone has an opinion as to how it 
should be performed, this is ONLY an example, and may or may not be the way 
I do it.  The important part is the 250MB root partition.)



:q!
