Hello list,

I have tried to encrypt disk before the installation of OpenBSD 7.0
according to the instructions here
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraid and managed to mess it.

I have performed

# cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV sd0
# fdisk -iy -g -b 960 sd0
# disklabel -E sd0
Label editor (enter '?' for help at any prompt)
sd0> a a
offset: [64]
size: [39825135] *
FS type: [4.2BSD] RAID
sd0*> w
sd0> q
No label changes.
# bioctl -c C -l sd0a softraid0

But I have failed to proceed before the installation with

# cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV sd1
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1c bs=1m count=1

So i ended up with unbootable install.

The disk is shown

# disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0c:
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk

16 partitions:

Is it safe to delete all somewhat encrypted partitions by
# fdisk -iy sd0
?

Should I perhaps first delete somewhat encrypted partitions by

# disklabel -E sd0

d a
d i

?

Thank you in advance for your answers.
