Hello list,

But I have failed to proceed before the installation with
# cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV sd1
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1c bs=1m count=1
So i ended up with unbootable install.
I don't think that is cause and effect.
If you want to start over from scratch (which I agree with others, this
would be a good starting point), I'd just suggest zeroing the first 1MB
of the physical disk. That will clear all OpenBSD structures from the
physical disk, the softraid encrypted disk, and any (important) evidence
there was a softraid disk there. I always recommend clearing the start
of the physical disk whenever dealing with RAID because...well, deleting
fdisk and disklabel tables looks good, there's often a lot of "structure"
left on the disk which can sometimes be confusing to the user (or the OS!)
when things suddenly pop back from the seeming dead.
So ... dd /dev/zero over the first 1MB of sd0, start over and see what
you get.
But I think your real problem is the installation didn't go right for
unknown reasons. You MAY want to start with a simple install, make
sure your machine handles OpenBSD well without the encrypted disk,
before jumping into the full disk encryption (OpenBSD installs are so
fast and relatively painless, no reason to fret about getting everything
"just so" on the first install!).
