Having done upgrades from 4.0 onwards, on a OpenBSD-only server (amd64), 
this time something must have gone wrong: Despite of the (remote, I have 
no physical access, via serial console) 'successful'  upgrade (no error 
messages), when I was asked to reboot, I did, as always. Alas, it came 
up with

Attempting Boot From Floppy Drive (A:)
Attempting Boot From CD-ROM
Attempting Boot From Hard Drive (C:)
Using drive 0, partition 3.
Loading...
ERR M

on an HP ML350G4p.

 From all I know it is a problem with the MBR.
What I'd really like to get, before I drive there and get access, is how 
to best solve this problem, and most straightforward. Talking about what 
went wrong can wait, since this is a production machine and should be 
back as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance,

Uwe
