Did you guys see my mail yesterday ? (albeit responding to the "Problem booting OpenBSD-current AMD64" thread) First of all I'd expect OpenBSD to create its fdisk partition on the partition with id 3, starting at LBA offset 64. (don't know if this changed) Is the partition 0 starting at offset 2048 a Linux left-over ? Anyway, my Gigabyte board used to work fine with a fdisk partition starting at either offset 63 or 64, respectively. Not so much after installing Linux the other day, which put the starting offset at 2048. This happens using the on-board Intel AHCI controller. Fortunately my board also has a non-Intel controller which does work, so being able to use that I didn't put more time into investigating this.
