It boots fine & everything, but I can't do anything because I get an error message saying: "Filesystem is read-only." An ls -al showed that I *should* have write-access to the expected places. chmod +w was useless. What's the deal here? I've installed OpenBSD on an external 330MB HD, with 100MB left to a Mac HFS partition. I'm booting using the bsd-generic kernel, located on the Mac partition. Any help on this subject would be much appreciated! Thank you, -Stefan
