IF (and that's a big IF) ... you have a flash drive which you will not be using on MS Windows platforms, then you can format for native use with OpenBSD:
- Use fdisk(8) to reinitialize the MBR, assigning a single MBR partition to OpenBSD.
# fdisk -i sd0 (note that's a "zero", a number, and not an "oh", a letter)
- Use disklabel(8) to create a single OpenBSD partition within the MBR partition. As in this example, the "a" partition.
# disklabel -E sd0
a a
[press Enter to all questions, taking the defaults]
w
q
- Format the partition.
# newfs sd0a
- Mount whenever needed. For automatically mounting, take a look at hotplugd(8), or perhaps amd(8). This manual mount example assumes that /dev/sd0a is associated with /home/sepuku/usb in your fstab(5).
$ grep sd0a /etc/fstab
/dev/sd0a /home/sepuku/usb ffs rw,noauto 0 0
$ pwd
/home/sepuku
# mount usb
# ls usb
.....
