I am fairly new to OpenBSD, and for some reason when I install it on my laptop it doesn’t show any boot option. My computer will just say there’s nothing to boot, and going into the boot options menu there’s nothing. Any idea why this might be happening?

    Sounds like you may have chosen GPT, which your machine can’t handle. You are asked (and informed) about your decision during disk partitioning. Usually if you choose GPT and it doesn’t boot, using MBR will.

      Thanks for the help! I looked at it and turns out I was having the opposite problem. I was installing with MBR and it wasn’t working, but it worked when I installed it with GPT. Either way, I got it figured out and was able to boot! Thanks again for the help!
