You will want/need to familiarize yourself with
Section 4 before installing.
- Because this disk is being shared with other operating systems, you will not want to overwrite the MBR already established by Windows. Section 4.5.3 discusses where the installation script initializes the disk. You will not want to specify the entire disk when prompted with the following question:
Code:
Use (W)hole disk or (E)dit the MBR? [whole] _
...since selecting "w" or pressing Enter (since this is the default selection...) to this question will overwrite the MBR.
- When in the fdisk(8) portion of the installation, the single MBR partition being used for OpenBSD will be converted to type "A6".
- Lastly, because this will be a multiple-booted environment, you will need to think about what boot manager you will want to use. Section 4.9 provides addition information at to choices, especially if you want to use Windows' boot manager.
