With the following custom partition scheme of the same 3GB disk the verification succeeds: > p m OpenBSD area: 63-6322176; size: 3087.0M; free: 0.0M # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 2901.9M 64 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 # / b: 185.1M 5943168 swap # none c: 3093.4M 0 unused Set name(s)?

But it indeeds mentions the "Cannot determine prefetch area" error that I had never seen before. Adding the following to the install.conf file makes an autoinstall with the auto layout succeed: Cannot determine prefetch area. Continue without verification? = yes >From the log: Set name(s)?

Just have to verifiy the sets on the local snapshot web server by myself. Adriaan
