    Can you offer any tips about how to boot OpenBSD via grub?
    I have installed OpenBSD on the first slice of my disk2 but I have
    not been able to boot OpenBSD following the instructions in the
    grub manual, which (curiously) suggest following the *exact*
    procedure used to boot NetBSD. This didn't work in my case.

    Any tips would be most appreciated. I would like to keep OpenBSD
    on the second hard disk. The first disk (in my case) hosts Win2k
    and a small partition that contains Linux (with the grub files).

    I bought the CD set so I have all the files/tools that come with
    the CD set.

    Thanks in advance. I hope to use OpenBSD as a workstation.
