Hi, i'm not english but i hope you'll understand

the problem is: ERR M when booting, but let's start from beginning

I have a pii 350MHz, 4Gb hard disk and i want to install openbsd 3.8, so i
created a boot cd, followed the instruction and everthing was fine with this
settings:
entire disk for openbsd
wd0a 100M /
wd0b 150M swap
wd0d 200M /tmp
wd0e 300M /var
wd0f 2G /usr
wd0g remaining /home
installation from ftp with
bsd
bsd.rd
base38.tgz
etc38.tgz
comp38.tgz
man38.tgz
misc38.tgz
i selected no x server

Once finished the installation "he" suggested me to type halt and reboot from
hd:

Using drive 0, partition3;
Loading...
ERR M

i read a topic like this so i tried:

# mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
# mount /dev/wd0f /mnt/usr
(this isn't really necessary because when i mount wd0a i see /usr mounted too,
maybe just because they are on the same partition with different labels)
# rm -rf /mnt/boot
# cp /mnt/usr/mdec/boot /mnt/boot
# /mnt/usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /mnt/usr/mdec/biosboot wd0

the output was:

boot: /mnt/boot
proto: /usr/mdec/biosboot
device: /dev/rwd0c
/usr/mdec/biosboot: entry point 0
proto bootblock size 512
/mnt/boot is 3 blocks x 12384 bytes
fs block shift 2; part offset 63; inode block 24; offset 1576
using MBR partition 3: type 166 (0xa6) offset 63 (0x3f)


booting and holding shift:
!Using drive 0, partition 3;
!Loading;...
ERR M


if i type
boot> boot hd0a:/bsd
booting hd0a:/bsd: \
and nothing appens

boot> machine diskinfo
Disk   BIOS#    Type       Cyls    Heads   Secs  Flags      Checksum

don't know what to do
