Boot BOOT(8) - System Manager’s Manual (i386) # BOOT(8) - System Manager’s Manual (i386)
NAME # boot, boot.conf - i386-specific second-stage bootstrap
DESCRIPTION # The main purpose of this program is to load the system kernel while dealing with the pitfalls of the PC BIOS architecture.
As described in boot_i386(8), this program is loaded by the biosboot(8) primary bootstrap loader and provides a convenient way to load the kernel. This program acts as an enhanced boot monitor for PC systems, providing a common interface for the kernel to start from.

CDBOOT(8) - System Manager’s Manual (amd64) # CDBOOT(8) - System Manager’s Manual (amd64)
NAME # cdboot - amd64-specific second-stage CD-specific bootstrap
DESCRIPTION # cdboot is a modified version of the amd64 second-stage bootstrap program, boot(8), configured to be run by the OpenBSD El Torito CD-ROM boot sector cdbr. cdboot will look for an /etc/boot.conf configuration file on the CD-ROM. If it finds one, it processes the commands within it. boot.

FDISK(8) - System Manager’s Manual # FDISK(8) - System Manager’s Manual
NAME # fdisk - partition table maintenance program
SYNOPSIS # fdisk [-evy] [-A | -g | -i | -u] [-b blocks[@offset[:type]]] [-l blocks | -c cylinders -h heads -s sectors] [-f file] disk
DESCRIPTION # fdisk creates and edits MBR and GPT partition tables. These tables are used by the boot process of some platforms to find the OpenBSD kernel and, when present, are used by the kernel to find the disklabel(5).
...
MBR(8) - System Manager’s Manual (landisk) # MBR(8) - System Manager’s Manual (landisk)
NAME # mbr - LANDISK-specific Master Boot Record
SYNOPSIS # mbr
DESCRIPTION # The MBR program comprises only one sector (512 bytes) and includes a partition table, since the disk is located in the 0th sector of the disk. Upon receiving control from the system firmware mbr will scan the partition table for an active partition and continue loading the Primary Boot Record (PBR) from the beginning of the partition, if found.
