OpenBSD on a HP NetServer E800
I have installed OpenBSD 3.5 on a HP NetServrr E800, but when i reboot it after a succesful install, it displays: "Operating System Not Found"...
i checked the bios for boot orders, but hdd is the first option, looked in the symbios config and it seems to be okay.
i reinstalled OpenBSD 3.5 a few times, but not solved.
can someone help me with this ?

Basically there is not much difference in these bootblocks, OpenBSD bootblock would become necessary to boot OpenBSD from partition located above 8G of disk.
No need for reinstall - just adding mbr code and setting active partition in either fdisk was sufficient.
I hope you agree that the problem does not relate to HP NetServer in any way.

fdisk /mbr - resets the boot partition, i had to reinstall OpenBSD. and it worked..
