note: pbr is partition boot record.

 From the OpenBSD FAQ:

As the PBR is very small, its range of error messages is pretty 
limited, and somewhat cryptic. Most likely messages are:

     * ERR R -- BIOS returned an error when trying to read a block from 
the disk. Usually means exactly what it says: your disk wasn't 
readable.
