came back up (the capacitor was still charged!), you will have to
experiment with this. The bleeder resistor should be as low in

physical SCSI-like devices hard-attached to your system, you probably
have had an event, like a drive failure or removal. Softraid adjusts

or not.

You can't mount that partition any more than you mount an entire disk.
You want the partitions INSIDE that virtual disk, which should have come

Once you know what you are doing, then migrate to your laptop, if you
still wish to (be forewarned: the power savings of a laptop are usually
assumed, not measured, and often smaller than people think.)

x 'em, and do just
about anything else that needs doing with an MBR. I've used it
a number of times to clean up other OSs messes (or at least look
at what they did).
There are some really wacko things one can do with OpenBSD's
fdisk, some can be called outright "wrong", but might be useful
in certain circumstances where "desperation" outweighs "sanity".
Could it be made better? Probably...but let me give you a set of
criteria that any patch will probably need to meet:
1) gotta fit on the floppy.
2) Still has to be able to do ANYTHING possible with MBRs, even if
wrong, immoral, or against certain political party's platforms.
3) Don't piss off the advanced users who have learned to LOVE the
power of the OpenBSD fdisk tool.
4) Don't look to Linux as a solution, the ones I've seen SUCK (see
#3 above).
5) Must work for all fdisk platforms
6) Must be the ONE tool. I don't think anyone will support two
fdisk-like tools in the tree. It has to be one tool that does
everything properly.
Yes, I do think some improvement can be made, definitely in the
man page (jmc@ and I will be working on that), but also in the
program, without violating the above (starting sector of 1 instead
of zero probably...better defaults for starting and ending track
and sector might be possible, but keep in mind the case of a drive
moved from a different geometry machine...)

we tried that already, he's still more got feet, bullets, or time
than he knows what to do with. Not sure which. Must be nice.
Nick.
So then does 'fdisk -u' also install a disklabel [to sector 0 of the
disk]? That surprises me, I'd think that disklabel would be for that,
and the man pages don't explain what is going on.

I've tried both an April 28th & April 29th bsd.rd, bot have the same
issue. My current November 21st snapshot is still working, dmesg
attached. Any clues?

You have to remember, the OpenBSD project doesn't have
that luxury. These guys bust their butts to keep OpenBSD
clean and 100%
0: 0G] unused

These "problems" just aren't problems.

Rumor is, he'll be in the cube next to yours starting Monday...
