I've tried to boot with -a but hung at the prompt at the end. I think I could try dev and see if that results in anything positive, had no luck with dev in the past, and there is still the tyranny of /etc/fstab. I checked /etc/fstab on OpenBSD 5.4 live USB, from liveusb.sourceforge.net, and noticed a long label, so maybe that enables this live USB to find its root and swap. I believe this or similar feature in NetBSD begins in current (releng-7). Tom
