Peter, if you have done this on a GPT formatted disk, I would like some clues. My first fumbling about a month ago couldn't find a way to get the installer to recognize the GPT partition scheme on the drive, so I copied out the restore DVDs and wiped the GPT and used the legacy 4 base partition MBR for the experiments I needed to do. Now I'm getting ready to (ugh) put MSW8 back on the thing. (Trying to talk myself out of that, but I need to be able to boot MSWindows once in a blue moon.) > 2) As part of 1) create a partition for OpenBSD > 3) Use OpenBSD fdisk to change partition type to A6, install on that > 4) Do not install boot menu to MBR > 5) Use BCDedit on Windows, add the OpenBSD partition > 6) (optional, Windows 8) set boot menu to classic mode > -- Joel Rees
