Hi!

In short:
I am trying to use installboot to make a new harddrive bootable that
should contain a custom OpenBSD installation, however, when trying to
boot from that new hd I always get "No O/S".


Detailed:
I successfully set up a standard OpenBSD6.3 (machine A) on sd0 using
install.iso. Using custom scripts, I would like to create custom
installations on sd1 to create individual installations (machine B, C
and so on), each on a separate HD that I would swap for sd1 each time.

On (A) I did:

fdisk -iy sd1
echo "a a\n\n2g\n\na b\n\n\n\n\nw\nq\n"|disklabel -E sd1
newfs /dev/rsd1a

mount /dev/sd1a /mnt

cp -R /altroot  /mnt/altroot
cp -R /bin      /mnt/bin
cp -R /dev      /mnt/dev
cp -R /etc      /mnt/etc
cp -R /home     /mnt/home
cp -R /root     /mnt/root
cp -R /sbin     /mnt/sbin
cp -R /tmp      /mnt/tmp
cp -R /usr      /mnt/usr
cp -R /var      /mnt/var
cp /bsd* /mnt/

cd /mnt/dev
./MAKEDEV std

installboot -v sd1 /usr/mdec/biosboot /usr/mdec/boot

(also tried
installboot -v -r /mnt/ sd1 /usr/mdec/biosboot /usr/mdec/boot
without success)


Hints and help will be appreciated!

Regards,
T.
