Hi Matthew > Use 'n' instead of 'm' to provide the needed mount points. That address my question. An obvious over site on my part! I never used it until today as far back as version 2.8.

That's where my confusion came from. I wrongly assume that you create the partitions and then named them after the fact. I was obviously wrong and made the wrong assumptions here. > When you choose "C" for a custom layout, the installer shows you this: > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > You will now create an OpenBSD disklabel inside the OpenBSD MBR > partition.

I saw that one and obviously read it, but didn't sync in for me. Based on previous years, I assume that, yes you need to partition your disk and then obviously will also need to provide the mount point when you are done. Before, you could provide them after the fact like you explain and obviously was a miss understanding of the process on my part that you clarify for me. Sorry for the noise. And Theo, I am truly sorry you got upset on this question from me here. I obviously failed to understand it properly and that's why I asked the question. My apology for your increase in temper cause by my question, but I just obviously didn't get it right and this clear it up for me. I was obviously wrongly looking for the installer asking me for the mount point as before, witch I see now was wrong to assume on my part. Thanks for your time and clarification on my miss understanding. One need to be ready to get a beat up to get clarifications, but that's fine. And Theo, I NEVER intended to make you waste time here. It was an honest miss understanding on my part obviously. Best regards, Daniel
