Is it you that will do all these extra tests?
I would like to contribute to the best of my abilities. However, it is
evident that any improvement requires effort. If I possessed the
necessary knowledge, I would implement these changes myself and propose
them on the tech@ mailing list, just as

The rationale is that the installer is not able to make a reasonable
guess about
how you plan to use the system. It knows the minimum required filesystem
sizes, and if you have a moderate amount of extra disk it has rules on how
to allocate the extra.
But if you have an extremely large amount o
Generally I would expect somebody who is new to OpenBSD to do a scratch
install on a spare machine to try out the system, but then re-install at
least once rather than continue using that scratch system as their 'final'
installation. For nothing else, because generally people fiddle with all

This is the -t option to /sbin/disklabel.
How is it possible to use a custom template from the OpenBSD installer?
On the other hand, this workaround is not the most convenient since one
typically does not reinstall OpenBSD f
I don't know if I'm misreading your inquiry but if I have more than enough
storage space why would I allocate way too much space to system partitions
by allocating it proportionally?
