This almost always means that your following step did not succeed. Look below. > I also tried: > % /mnt/mdec/installboot /boot /mnt/mdec/biosboot sd0a > installboot: superblock: devread: lseek: invalid argument This is wrong. You should mount /dev/sd0a on a directory , then copy the two boot files, the /usr/mdec/boot and /usr/mdec/biosboot to the root like this. # mount /dev/sd0a /mnt # cp /usr/mdec/b* /mnt And then you should run installboot like this. # ./usr/mdec/installboot boot /mnt/biosboot sd0 Try this. It might work. ;) Best of luck! > I have grub currently installed on MBR. OpenBSD is on > linux's /dev/sda2. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
