Comments/Problems:
The problem is partitioning.
fdisk:
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 1 7 Dell Utilitiy
2 8 900 HPFS/NTFS
3 891 1581 OpenBSD
4 1582 4864 Extended
However, the partition in the installer will only show the complete drive:
Finish .. [##]
Undo
IDE1 Master - 40.0 GB ..
Help on partitioning
Guided partitioning
Configure the Logical ...
<Go Back>
When I click the IDE1 Master, it will tell me that it will remove all
existing partitions.
Guided partitioning will either 'Erase entire disk: ..." or 'Manually
edit partition table'.
And when I press the last, I end up with the same screen as above [##]
Is there any way to get the system installed ?
I did also try without that Extended; that is with the disk free above
1581; but with the same result.
