If there is no cursor at the "boot>" prompt, it isn't an OpenBSD problem.
You were right. But let me start at the beginning. I wanted to give OpenBSD a whirl as a desktop OS, so I gave it a partition of its own on my main desktop box, which is primarily running Kubuntu 7.04, and using GRUB 0.97 that ships with it. When I created a boot floppy, that just has the GRUB prompt and no menu, and chainloaded OpenBSD from there, I *had* a cursor. When I removed /boot/grub/menu.lst on Kubuntu (so GRUB wouldn't show a menu), and tried it again, once again I *had* a cursor. My 'workaround' in this case was simply adding OpenBSD as a menu entry in GRUB. I usually hold off adding an entry until the OS in question is working, and not having a cursor qualified it as "not working" in this case. I can't say whether this is GRUB's fault in general, or Ubuntu's version of GRUB (which I hear is modified to some extent). Thank you all for your time. Greetings, Chris
