Hi Peter & Otto, Thanks very much for your response!
My laptop is very old: Fujitsu LifeBook T5010 (https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2352819,00.asp) . During booting, it shows: >>OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.39 Then it flashes one line (I can't see that line clearly, and it should display load something), and the system will reboot again. The system will loop the above flow, reboot again and again. Now I doubt it is related to partition issue, but not sure. I divided the whole disk (MBR) into 2 partitions: >From offset 64, 4G swap, the left is mounted as '/'. This method at least works for OpenBSD 6.2. Thanks very much!
