http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Install 4.5.2: "On platforms which use fdisk, it is important that the first partition skips the first track of the disk, in this case, starting on sector 63. This will vary from machine to machine and disk system to disk system. If an OpenBSD partition is created starting at offset 0, this partition table will end up being overwritten by the OpenBSD partition's Partition Boot Record. The system may still be bootable, but it will be very difficult to maintain, and this configuration is not recommended or supported." Best Martin
