So I reinstalled again, from the same CD, just [Enter]ing the defaults,
using MBR and [W]hole disk. Now my fdisk and disklabel agree on the
MSDOS partition, it can be mounted, and contains an _empty_ ofwboot;
the ofw boot prompt complains about loadsize=0.
Suspacting my install CD, I reinstalled yet again, this time
from an FTP mirror. Now there is a good MSDOS partition,
there is a good ofwboot on it, and I can boot using
Miod's command above (to work around the ofw's confusion about
'cd' and 'hw'). Thank you!
There is another problem now though:
the booting sequence ends with
bootpath /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@1:/bsd
root device: _
and that's where it stops, with '_' indicating the cursor.
It seems the ofwboot problem is solved, but something else is wrong.
What does that mean if the booting /bsd says this, instead if the
usual 'root on wd0a ...'?
Is there something more I need to do in ofwboot?
