Hello,

During my recent experimentation with ssd and OpenBSD, I came to a
point where the OpenBSD amd64 snapshot install was not able to boot
from ssd installed and booted in UEFI mode.
Since I was able to prior use this ssd in this configuration, I
started to analyze and check more in BIOS and ssd settings. The only
this different was that I was trying to install OpenBSD in UEFI mode
on a ssd with Fedora already installed on it. The install went fine,
but the boot was not successful having BIOS reporting 'No option to
boot.'

Since the BIOS settings were the same, I did:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1c bs=1m count=10
on that ssd ( 10 was just to be sure, after i thought 1 may not be
enough), then OpenBSD went fine with install and boot in UEFI mode.

Now, I'm asking: shouldn't OpenBSD install be able to fully install on
a ssd no matter what the previous setting are?
As for what was wrong, I didn't saved any information, but if that is
really of interest I can reinstall Fedora and try after that OpenBSD
install and boot, with some debug as instructed.

Thanks
