[Soekris] OpenBSD on 4501 - ERR R and booting a compact flash card

[Gordon Turner]

I have a compact flash card that is giving an ERR R on boot.  I have looked at the boot (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html), which told me that my PBR was most likely messed.

This is in a Soekris 4501 and the script used to create the image is here:
http://webapp.gordonturner.ca/greenfrog/image.sh.txt
(The script is based on flashdist, OpenSoekris and the stock installers.)

The problem arose as a result of trying to setup a new compact flash card. The 128mb cards used previously are longer big enough.

It is entirely likely that I preformed an action on the previous 128mb cards waaay back when I started work on this
project that I did not included in the script that allowed them to boot properly.

- OpenBSD 4.0 GENERIC
- disklabel, fdisk and dmesg attached
- boot from console on Soekris 4501 attached
- project website: http://webapp.gordonturner.ca/greenfrog/

Any pointers and clue by fours graciously accepted.

Gordo.
