Hello,
My ntfs amd comaq diag. partition is not in the disklabel.
I presume this means you deleted them, and now want 'em back. As they
appear to have been there before the OpenBSD install, I'd have expected
them to be in your disklabel. Wait a minute...how'd you get the compaq
partition THERE??? (ok, that's way OT).
Unfortunately I don't know how to add correctly in the disklabel.
I've read the faq 14.16.1 but it only shows a modification.
Here is my fdisk output, which shows id 0 the ntfs partition:

What do I have to add to disklabel to be able to access the ntfs and the compaq
diag partition?
For ntfs something like:
l: 102831057 63 unknown # Cyl ???????????
I would really appreciate some help.
with what? You got it right there! Do disklabel -E, you won't have to
worry about the cyl part. :)
You probably want type to be "ntfs".
Thank you very much !
Some noteworthy points:
1. Looks like you ran out of space in the disklabel (or in the
device namespace, or whatever): don't define this many disklabel slices
if you want to see the other partitions (which are typically numbered
from i). [I'm not 100% sure I'm correct here; please flame me, with the
correct answer if possible, if this is not the case.]
Grabbing the marshmallows and a stick here...
Yes, non-OpenBSD partitions which are recognized at install time are
typically listed as partitions "i" and up, but there is NOTHING sacred
about this. "a", "b" and "c" are sacred..don't misuse them. "d"
through "p" can be used however you wish. Make "d" DOS. Make "p" your
/usr partition. Whatever.
consider yourself flamed. :)
2. NTFS is not supported in GENERIC. This usually means the
implementation isn't really ready for prime time yet; you could build a
custom kernel, if you know what you are doing and have read most, if not
all, of FAQ 5.*.
right. "man -k ntfs"
3. I don't know what you want to do with the Compaq diag
partition, but it might not be too useful.
agreed.
If you aren't planning on USING a partition, don't bother putting it in
disklabel. On the other hand, might be fun to find what is in that
compaq partition. (no idea why, but I've never looked closely. Just a
mislabeled msdos partiton, as I recall).
