Currently running OpenBSD i386 3.8 with one 20GB IDE drive at wd0a and one 250gb IDE drive all partitioned for bsd.
Trying to install OpenBSD i386 4.2 from install42.iso by trading the 250gb drive for a cd-rom drive. I keep getting this error message and I believe it has to do with the missing 250gb drive: /dev/rwd0a: file system is clean; not checking Can't open /dev/rwd1d: Device not configured CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM. /dev/rwd1d: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck_ffs MANUALLY. Automatic file system check failed; help!
