As a user of both dragonfly and openbsd, and former slackware user. I would recommend skipping the dual boot and just installing openbsd. It will be much easier and will do everything you want. Maybe just keep half the disk unpartitioned so you can add a second os later or just mount it. I know it doesn't answer the question. Edgar
