After booting the 8.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso the fdisk part of the installer does not see the existing MBR partitions.
The fdisk output as produced by OpenBSD 4.6 current
The goal was to install in the FAT32 partition. Even after changing the partition type of the first MBR entry to FreeBSD, fdisk still fails to see any existing partition and tells me
The partition table with the first entry set to FreeBSD
fdisk still sees on big partition type 12 (0C) which is FAT32.
I am really puzzled.I answered nearly 6000 questions at the late bsdforums.org but I don't remember ever seeing something like this.
