I've downloaded the /install50.iso (x86) and verified the sha-256.
Under Ubuntu 11.10 running the virtualbox "4.1.10-76795~Ubuntu~oneiric" from the Oracle site, I've set up a virtual machine to go through the install process and learn how not to shoot myself in the foot. But virtualbox reports it as having "aborted".
I suspect a bug in the latest virtualbox update, has anyone else been able to run this ISO under this latest version of virtualbox?
I've seen references to openBSD requiring a primary partition for install, and I've also seen references to some previous version (4.4?) having added support for installing to an extended partition, can someone verify that 5.0 will install in an extended partition?
Before burning a USB stick and attempting a live install, I'd like to do whatever is possible to avoid wiping my entire hard-drive. I have an extended partition available but will have to do some shifting if a primary partition is required.
TIA, apologies if this email is not sent as plain-text, Thunderbird doesn't always do what I expect.
