Hi Daniel,
Just a heads up, dd(1) prints progress information if it r

You can use Pipe
HI,
OK, for the archive of may be for an other unlucky sole that may be
loosing sleep over this like I did for the last two days.
I know it's not an OpenBSD specific subject, but never the less
countless google research, tests and some support emails that kept me
going deserved an archive re

Hi Daniel,
Which Mac is it?
Hopefully you should be able to recover the error - you might need to
boot his Mac OS X disks which should enable you to get OpenProm to
recognise the HFS part of the disk again.

Hi,
this won't recover your partitions and those things, but as you said your
son needs to access his "workfiles"
If the disk wasn't formatted and you bought Applecare you should have
gotten a copy of techtool (I think they still give that away with
applecare, if not you can buy it seperately). On this bootable disk
is a disk utility that wil have a feature called "scavenge". Run it.
It will look over the HD
Here's what I would do:
- physically remove the laptop's HDD; since you upgraded the laptop to
a bigger HDD yourself, this shouldn't be too much of a problem.
- look at the disk very closely. Buy the exact same type of disk
again. This might seem unnecessary, but the rationale behind this is
that

to look only, looks like there is only one partition now.
Dunno if that is looking at MBR in memory or MBR on disk
If MBR on disk is still the same, should be OK after boot.
That's not from memory for sure.
Power off and on show the same thing.

Hi,
Now sure if anyone could give me a hint or pointer, but I very much
