This is so simple if you know the answer, and very hard otherwise.

/etc/fstab will refuse to work unless the wd0 and etc are correct.
But after making a change in drives, whichever one is wd0 or wd1 will change and booting fails.
This is easy to fix if you  use vi or another editor.
But you will need to define:
export TERM=xterm  (or vt220 etc.)

you will need to mount / as read write by running fsck -p then mount -uw /dev/wd0a /
THEN
fsck -p /dev/(whichever is /usr)
and mount  -w /dev/wd0d (or whichever is /usr) /usr


after this you can use vi successfully to edit /etc/fstab to reflect correct wd0 or wd1 etc correctly

reboot and all will be OK

I just had a few beers and tequilas
, so I may be a little off in the details., but the TERM command is the real secret to get editors to work. Read the man pages for fsck and mount if this fails as I described.

Good Luck and this will work!!

I'm trying to set up a Dell SC420 with 4.3. The machine has two SATA hard drives and a PATA DVD drive. All that works fine.

Now I'm trying to add a PATA drive to copy data. When I either install the PATA drive on the on-board controller or on a PCI PATA controller, the machine boots from SATA, but detects the PATA drive as wd0 and tries to load the OS, and dies.

How can I tell OpenBSD to boot from SATA, but still mount drives on PATA?

Dmesg (without PATA hard drive) below.
