the OpenBSD installer looks somewhat simplistick, but it's quite consistent in its chosen conventions, such as displaying the default action in square brackets and pressing Enter to accept the entered or displayed value. or the TL;DR version: you said you wanted to use the whole disk for OpenBSD, so of course it took you seriously. > I joined this mailing list just to tell you this: Right now, I feel > like never, ever touching OpenBSD with a ten-foot pole again. The best advice you'll ever get about this paricular situation is to read the FAQ (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/), with particular attention to part 4 (the installation part) and perhaps http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Multibooting for the various multiboot options. - Peter -- Peter N.
