Did you miss my e-mail response to your original post? As described within
it, your "ERR M" message is produced by biosboot(8), which is installed in the
PBR (the first sector of the OpenBSD MBR partition). Your boot manager had
already passed control to it.
If you missed it, ERR M means that biosboot did not find a valid second stage
boot loader (/boot) via the inode passed at installboot time. The e-mail
contained step-by-step reparation instructions, also.
