Thanks again for tons of great info. I wish all your great posts could be captured in one OpenBSD book...
I have been playing around a bit but not much since I don't have much time lately. I installed 6.4 under Virtual Box. I went through the FAQ steps and created a softraid device and installed. System runs fine of course.
I may be missing something but when I boot the installer, I can't see anything but RAID when I fdisk the first drive in the softraid device. And disklabel borks when I specify the second drive. I just realized I want to check something. Too bad I can't save this as a draft. I'll try a few things and ask better questions. Thanks for your help!
