Hello list, In my first attempt with OpenBSD, I tried installing it on an extended partition because I had no other partition available. The partition is /dev/hda5 under linux, or according to openbsd fdisk the first partition after /select/-ing the fourth partition (of type extended DOS).
At the fdisk step I set the type to a6, and flagged both the extended DOS partition and the openbsd partition. The main problem was encountered at the next step. Disklabel didn't detect any OpenBSD partition so I had to run 'b' command and set the boundaries as reported in fdisk previously. After doing that, the installation proceeded normally. Unfortunately I never succeded in booting it. No OpenBSD bootloader was installed and chain-loading with grub just leaves the screen completely blank. So the question is how to properly install and boot OpenBSD on an extended partition? I couldn't find any relevant documentation anywhere... Thanks in advance, Dimitris
