In my first couple of installs on this new machine using 5.1 release and the current snapshot I got the following messages at the end of the installation: Making all device nodes...done mkdir: /mnt2/boot: Invalid argument cp: /mnt2/boot/bsd: Invalid argument Failed to install bootblocks. You will not be able to boot OpenBSD from wd0 I fixed this by copying boot to the boot partition and PMON has no trouble booting it.

Thanks for the update.
