What about 1Tb disk? Is CHS mode correct for this disks?

I done the test using Virtualization.
Not tried with a physical hard drive 1 TB.

The smallest common non-SSD laptop drive is probably around 500G now,
and 1TB is routine on desktops.  At least some (many? most?) of these
machines are now shipping with UEFI boot, and a lot of them will be
pre-loaded with Windows, with minimal resources to reload Windows from
scratch.

The target (and worst-case) audience is the person who bought a laptop or desktop pre-loaded with Windows 8, and wants to install OpenBSD with
as little disruption to the existing system as possible.

I appreciate the efforts, but we need something more comprehensive.

Sounds like I need to go buy a modern Windows system. :-/

I can make the test on hardware at work with a 1TB SATA on a HP Proliant ML110.
Do you want absolutely UEFI ?

If it is the case, so i will try on a recent laptop.
But this time with 500GB SATA 2"5.

You re welcome.

Hi

I just tested this. It works nice for me.

I have a Windows 8.1 on a hard drive 15 GB (A full one partition).
So i want to install OpenBSD 5.4 and have multiboot.

-1- Reduce the disk using disk management (MMC snap)
i reduced Windows partition, i have now a second partition 1GB.
Put OpenBSD 5.4 CD, and reboot.

-2- Install OpenBSD using CHS (Be careful!)
OpenBSD is now installed, eject cd, and reboot to windows
# fdisk -e 3

-3- Download the tool dd for windows
http://www.chrysocome.net/dd [1]
Unzip dd-0.6beta3 and do :

open "cmd" as administrator and do:
dd --list
# this will list device (we are looking for partition 2 (openbsd)

dd if=\?DeviceHarddisk0Partition2 of=openbsd.pbr bs=512 count=1
# This record OpenBSD PBR
Copy the file openbsd.pbr to the root c:

-4- Modify boot.ini using bcdedit
In a cmd console (need administrator rights)
bcdedit /create /d "OpenBSD 5.4" /application boot sector
# copy the identifier and paste it to the 4 following lines
# For me, identifier is : {0eae31b8-4f98-11e3-8260-00264aa3d5ac}

bcdedit /set {0eae31b8-4f98-11e3-8260-00264aa3d5ac} device boot
bcdedit /set {0eae31b8-4f98-11e3-8260-00264aa3d5ac} path openbsd.pbr
bcdedit /set {0eae31b8-4f98-11e3-8260-00264aa3d5ac} device
partition=c:
bcdedit /displayorder {0eae31b8-4f98-11e3-8260-00264aa3d5ac}
/addlast

-5- Reboot, you re done!
As Dmitri said, windows 8.1 load graphical before you have the boot
choice.
And when you choose OpenBSD, the box reboot and load OpenBSD.

I hope this helps!!
If you want i can do a better how-to with snapshots, and put it on
the web.
Or contribute to the FAQ!*

Cheers,
