Howdy all,

I need some clarification on whether or not the fdisk output for the 5.5
sunxi installer image is correct.

I downloaded the 5.5 cubieboard/sunxi installer to try it out.  This is
the snapshot:

miniroot-sunxi-55.fs 
<http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/armv7/miniroot-sunxi-55.fs>    
08-Mar-2014 15:20  18.0M

I then wrote it out with this command:

    dd if=/home/bill/Downloads/miniroot-sunxi-55.fs of=/dev/sdb


And then I received two lines of console output when booting, then a halt:

    U-Boot SPL 2012.10-04280-g1a8ac55 (May 23 2013 - 14:01:59)
    DRAM: 32MB


I did a little checking, and this is what I see when I run fdisk:

    Disk /dev/sdb: 7969 MB, 7969177600 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 968 cylinders, total 15564800 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x00000000

       Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
    /dev/sdb1   *        6237       32129       12946+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
    /dev/sdb4              64       32129       16033   a6  OpenBSD


It looks like the FAT partition is overlapping the OpenBSD partition,
and that the FAT partition is the first, bootable partition but it
starts well after the OpenBSD partition, which is the fourth partition.

Is it supposed to look like that?  I've checked everything else,
downloaded the image again, wiped the sd card repeatedly, etc... same
results.
