Your instructions to load only the needed modules works great, thanks. My openbsd partition is 7GB, but some other ufs partitions are bigger than that. I suspect that I have some disklabel conflict on that disk. I have netbsd, openbsd, freebsd all installed on the same disk, each with its own disklabel. I don't know why it would cause that problem in particular, though. I'd like to know exactly how you create your virtual disks for testing. I've been creating appropriate-size partitions on a USB stick and then copying whatever files I need onto it. Then I use dd to make an img file to run in qemu. It's a very slow process and I'd like to do it better. Any hints? Thanks.
