I personally think Power9/Power8 support is a useful thing and if
10x2,850USD would have been less than say 0.2% of my wealth, I'd simply
have taken this matter through a web shopping cart.
Have a good day.

Thanks everyone for clarifying that the sectors 0 to 79 should be
considered reserved on OpenBSD MBR partitions (and thus within the context
of the "disklabel" tool).

Aha got it.
So then I'll just learn that sector 80 and up are "safe" for "user data",
and it's up to all users to take care that any non-UFS/swap/RAID partitions
never go below 80.
But how does the behavior of the first added partition by default
overlapping the disklabel "save butts" -

The script below includes extra considerations to see through any kernel
caching of the disklabel, by rebooting between every relevant step.
"dd if=/dev/srandom of=/dev/rwd0e bs=1024 count=1" does also wipe the
disklabel.

No,
You
1) Fill your keydisk with zeroes and
2) Apply "bioctl -k" on it.
Does this mean your key is now zeroes, meaning completely unsafe, or did
bioctl make a key for you?
The keydisk gets some "OPENBSDSR KEYDISK005" header but it says nowhere if
it actually made a key for you.

Wait, just for my (and I guesss some others') clarity, three questions here:

was it how it matched supported/unsupported drives, or something else?
