Hello misc!

I've had Openbsd 5.5 for a while as the sole system on my eeepc. I decided
to install grub and multi boot to either Linux or Freebsd.

# pkg_add grub
# grub-install
# reboot

Oops. I didn't configure it. Oh well, I'm sure I can just use grub manually
to chainload Openbsd. First I make sure nothing was erased.

grub> find /boot
  (hd0,3,a)
grub> find /bsd.rd
  (hd0,3,a)
grub> find /root/.profile
  (hd0,3,a)

So it's clearly still there.

grub> rootnoverify (hd0,3,a)
grub> chainloader +1
grub> boot

Fail. This takes me right back to grub. I even tried direct booting, but as
with every tut and email I've read on the subject, it only leads to a
panic.

grub> kernel --type=openbsd /boot
grub> boot

Panic.

grub> kernel --type=openbsd /bsd.rd
grub> boot

Panic.

Seems I'm stuck. What do I do to chainload openbsd when grub just
chainloads itself?
