I'm not going to add to the security comments, because others have commented on them pretty well. Instead, I'll offer a suggestion, which is to make a tool to help people with carving a disk up. I think that a lot (most?) people who've dealt with OpenBSD would agree that the single hardest thing to do is carve disks up when stuffing several OSs on a disk. At least in my estimation thats the hardest thing, as I have gotten more requests for help with that than anything else from newbies. So, why not create a tool which asks the user what they want to do, the geometry of the disk, and then offers specific data for fdisk and disklabel. That might be worth doing. --STeve Andre'
