Hi list,
i am trying to install 2 instances of OpenBSD that i can boot alternatively.
I installed the first one from the install CD on partitions a (/) and b
(swap), which worked fine.
Then i booted the install CD again and tried to install the 2nd instance
on partition d (/).
However, fdisk keeps me from specifying / as mountpoint for partition d.
In disklabel, i issue:
> n a
mount point: [none] /x
> n d
mount point: [none] /
> p
...
a: ..... /x
d: ..... /
So, disklabel pretends to use / as mountpoint for d. But when i quit
with "q", disklabel still asks me for a mountpoint for d, and if i
specify "/", it complains that "a" is already being mounted on "/".
AFAIK, using "a" as root partition is not a requirement for installing
OpenBSD. So disklabel seems to be a bit too smart here.
Is this a bug in disklabel? I don't want to use the alternative of
untarring the install sets by hand, because this gives me an
unconfigured system with no root pw, no devices, no whatnot...
