need help partition on hard drive with os already on it
I am trying to install OpenBSD on a computer that already had Linux on it, plus a swap partition, and I need help creating a new partition for OpenBSD. I've gotten to the point where I create the new partition and it asks for an offset. first partition is linux ext4, next is the swap. It would be great if someone would help; I will supply any information necessary for the resolution of this problem.

OpenBSD needs a primary partition with A6 as partition identifier.
Code:
j65nko@hercules[~]fdisk wd0 Disk: wd0 geometry: 38913/255/63 [625142448 Sectors] Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55 Starting Ending LBA Info: #: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *0: A6 0 1 1 - 5098 254 63 [ 63: 81915372 ] OpenBSD 1: A5 5099 0 1 - 22945 254 63 [ 81915435: 286712055 ] FreeBSD 2: 82 22946 0 1 - 23011 254 63 [ 368627490: 1060290 ] Linux swap 3: 83 23012 0 1 - 38912 254 63 [ 369687780: 255449565 ] Linux files* What is the output of Linux fdisk -l ?

Yes, thank you, J65nko. I was indeed aware of that, jggimi. thank you. I used pmagic, and stuff seems to work now, more or less. Just gotta configure the bootloader now. I can probably do that myself.
Buh-bye. |
