This intense. I this is taking more concentration and reading than Gentoo.
Trying to use fdisk on OpenBSD

I remember accidentally deleting several partitions within the OpenBSD installer. Only after looking at many obscure blogs was I able to figure out how to multiboot it.

I'm practicing in a VM. This is a bitch, but it's a one time thing.

What're you trying to do with your partitions?
Noah Taylor
I want a 4GB / partition, and a 4GB swap. This is on a 16GB disk. I want to leave the rest empty.
Nicholas Stewart
Apparently I have to do calculations of sector size with listed number of sectors to figure this out, why you can't just say 4GB is beyond me.
Anthony Rivera
it's been a while, but IIRC you can specify it in percent
it's still kind of junk to deal with though
Evan Powell
I just did the number of sectors divided by 4. It worked. I did some calculation by checking sector size x number of sectors to verify.

Is BSD's fdisk different than Linux's?
Aiden Murphy
I can't say for sure, but I don't recall ever being unable to just type 4G to create a 4GB partition on a Linux CLI partition tool. Perhaps I've only used parted or cfdisk?
Adam Martinez
So did you try 4G on BSD's fdisk?
Leo Campbell
OP here, it looks like it doesn't even come with a default repository. Gotta add it manually to /etc/installurl. openbsd.org
No.

i use the debian installer partition editor every time i need to partition anything because i don't know how to use anything else
Brody Carter
If you do a network install it will use the one you pick then.
Angel Bailey
Why not just prepare the partitions beforehand with some better software like GNU parted?
Nicholas Cox
I plan to do this on an old Packard Bell PC with a compact flash card as the system disk.

I only have to learn it once.
Daniel Collins
Because learning is a checkbox, not a journey. Good luck, I wish you the best.

Well try it, because that's exactly what you need to do.
