Hello,

I'm trying to boot OpenBSD 2.1 on my Mac IIci, and cannot get the booter to
boot the system.  I ran mkfs and the Installer with what I thought was
success.  I have installed only what I thought was minimally necessary -
Etc21, Bsd21-genericsbc, and Base21.  

I have looked through the FAQs, and the booter manual, but I cannot figure
out what settings to use to boot.  - What is the name of the Kernel, and
what other information do I need to provide to the booter?

I keep getting messages like this:

Booting..... file "" not found.
Could not find kernel "(6,?)".


I am trying to boot off an external drive at SCSI address 6.


Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
