I've also created an entry in /etc/fstab for tphdisk:

/dev/sd0i   /mnt   msdos   rw   1   1

Since my initial posting I've also modified the sd0 disklabel so that
the msdos partition is inside the OpenBSD disk boundaries.

Adding the /etc/fstab entry and altering the disk boundaries may be
mistakes on my part, as the brief tphdisk instructions did not specify
to do so.

How does tphdisk know about the msdos partition and the save2dsk.bin file?
Assuming I have a sane tphdisk setup (doubtful), is there a way I can
trigger tphdisk without the use of Fn-F12?

Thank you very much for any advice.
