There are *two* partition tables to consider. The MBR partition table, which you can display with the fdisk(8) program, and the OpenBSD partition table, known as the disklabel. OpenBSD pays attention to both. Windows systems will only look at the MBR partition table. If you intend to use this disk with foreign systems such as Windows, as well as OpenBSD, you should consider both. Note: when OpenBSD does not find a disklabel, it will use the MBR table to craft a virtual disklabel, and will lay out foreign MBR partitions in that virtual disklabel beginning with disklabel partition "i". In order to create a valid FAT32 partition that a foreign system can see, you will have to edit the MBR partition table with fdisk, and format as FAT32 with newfs_msdos(8). It would probably be easier, if you are unfamiliar with these tasks, to plug the USB drive into a Windows machine and "reformat" it there as FAT32, which will take care of both the MBR partition and the filesystem itself. If you are *only* planning to use the device with OpenBSD, then you do not need FAT32 at all. Just OpenBSD FFS filesystem(s). The process you would use with be to first recreate an MBR partition table that has a single MBR partition, spanning the whole drive, reserved for OpenBSD, with something like: # fdisk -i sd0 then create your intended disklabel partitions with: # disklabel -E sd0 Then format OpenBSD partition(s) with newfs(8), e.g.: # newfs rsd0a Then add the partition to your fstab(5) table, or mount manually, or use hotplugd(8), as desired.

Thanks i'll have a look at fdisk as well then cheers for the heads up. k From stjs39 at yahoo.de Wed Jan 14 17:55:02 2009 From: stjs39 at yahoo.de (Juergen Scholten) Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:55:02 +0000 (GMT) Subject: where are the snapshot packages?

Snapshot packages are tied pretty closely to the snapshot system sets. Recently, there were some bumps to libc and stdc++, which requires updates.

Well I found the answer and some other random good info on the misc mailing list https://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/openbsd-misc/2007/7/1/151921/thread I wont repeat it all here but it solve the problem and does a brillant introduction into the how, why and where for of fdisk.

I bought a router yesterday and I'm trying to get OpenBSD working with it. It's a Broadcom airforce 802.11g and works with Windows and linux. I downloaded the bwi driver for OpenBSD and followed the man page for bwi. I created /etc/hostname.bwi0 and tried each example shown in the man page. I started with dhcp NONE NONE NONE in my /etc/hostname.bwi0 and upon booting, the wireless led lit up a few times, but the screen showed "bwi0 .......no link". I then tried "dhcp nwid mynetworkid", tried rebooting and got the same response. I then tried "dhcp nwid mynetworkid nwkey mynetworkkey" and then tried "route flush" and "sh /etc/netstart bwi0". Same thing :( This is my first try at wireless with OpenBSD, so what am I doing wrong? Something simple, I'm sure, but I'm missing it whatever it is. Thanks for your help.

Tried that but that didn't work either. I also see that there is a small error in my first post: What I get on booting is: bwi0: no link .............sleeping I just tried this in /etc/hostname.bwi0: dhcp nwid mynwid wpa wpapsk $(wpa-ps mynwid mynwkey) ifconfig -a shows: bwi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:16:ce:49:a8:e1 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1) status: no network ieee80211: nwid mynwid wpapsk 0xabunchofhexdecimal wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2 wpaakms psk,802.1x wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip inet6 fe80::216:ceff:fe49:a8e1%bwi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 enc0: flags=0<> mtu 1536 Still no network connection :( Am I making this too hard?
