I had that happen to me in the installer but everything still seemed to 
work fine.

I don't know how it is with OpenBSD but shouldn't you install a kern.tgz 
?? Smash me over my head if I'm wrong, but the booter doesn't find a 
kernel, so either it's not there, or ... is it named openbsd in OpenBSD? 
In that case you should fix the name of the kernel in the bootingoptions 
part of the booter.

And then as Chuck mentioned I'm not shure how well NetBSD handles A/UX v3 
partitions. I don't know whether you want to go through the trouble of 
installing the *.tgz files again, but why don't you convert the 
Partitions with the Mkfs to NetBSD-Type root and type usr partitions ?

This is another thing I don't see in the description of things you did, 
did you format the drive ? To my understanding just partitioning it won't 
help as you need to have the proper inode table and what not initialised. 
Mkfs is your friend here too. (Also it is quite slow I must say if the 
partionions get big ...)

Hope this helps
