Thank you all for reading.

Here is my configuration:

I have 2 disks in my computer.
wd0 Windows XP (primary master)

I want to dual boot OpenBSD & FreeBSD on the 2nd disk (primary slave).
I'm installing OpenBSD first.

The following will be my partitions for OpenBSD (please feel free to
advise me on any possible alternatives, only using the computer to
install programs and play around, not servers):
/128M
swap 1GB
/var 500M
/tmp 250M
/usr rest of 20GB drive

My issue is during the install program I pressed i for install,
proceeded to follow the prompts but not sure how to set things up.

1st step is to edit MBR correct? Then install / partition? I think I
went directly to install and the offset was at 0 when it should have
been 63. Then, when I tried to delete all partitions and reenter the /
partition it said root was full try another partition. What am I doing
wrong?


The following inputs are from the OpenBSD install guide. What would I
enter for each item. Is this correct?

fdisk: 1> e 1
BIOS Starting cylinder 0
BIOS Starting head 0
BIOS Starting sector 1
BIOS Ending cylinder ?
BIOS Ending head ???
BIOS Ending sector 63 (This is my MBR Partition correct? so should this
be 62 or 63?

fdisk: 1> e 1
Starting Ending LBA Info:
#: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused
Partition id ('0' to disable) [0 - FF]: [0] (? for help) a6
Do you wish to edit in CHS mode? [n] y
BIOS Starting cylinder [0 - 2585]: [0] 203
BIOS Starting head [0 - 239]: [0] Enter
BIOS Starting sector [1 - 63]: [0] 1
BIOS Ending cylinder [0 - 2585]: [0] 2585
BIOS Ending head [0 - 239]: [0] 239
BIOS Ending sector [1 - 63]: [0] 63

i know this error, it's typical. If your hd it's all for openbsd you
must to get partition zero table or default mbr load. Cause maybe the
partition or something make mbr broken in two parts. Dont chage the
chs, are you crazy? XD leave the default values written on the disk's
label, the existing one attacched phisically on the hd;
