Dear Misc, I want to leave the pre-loaded Windows XP on the X40, so I:
a) didn't let it convert to NTFS b) deleted the "IBM/Lenovo utility partition" c) resized part 0 (C) d) using OpenBSD install fdisk, created an OpenBSD partition (above cylinder 1024). Now, after creating slice a, the OpenBSD disklabel does not do the math for me. It give me the same beginning offset as for wd0a. So I then: did the math (added all the offsets & created the partitions), but now it won't boot (it just goes ahead and boots XP). Now I have some questions: 1. Why is disklabel acting retarded? (or what am I doing that's retarded)? 2. why no booting? 3. Is this a 1024 cylinder problem? I thought this was a fixed issue a few releases back. thanks, CP -- Chris Paul Sentinare Messaging Solutions 106 Maywood Drive, Boulder Creek, CA 95006 web: http://www.sentinare.com phone: +1 (877) 727-9786 mobile: +1 (831) 818-5369 [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type APPLICATION/DEFANGED which had a name of chris.paul.18238DEFANGED-vcf]
