I did.

Maybe there was a misunderstanding about my first EMail. I have tried
to install OpenBSD on a PC with 2 disks: sd0 is 32GByte, sd1 is 1.5TByte.
Boot partition is on sd0, of course, but I also created a label, swap
and a huge 1.4 TByte partition on sd1 to be mounted on /export.

The installer selected ffs for this partition (even though it is obvious
to everyone that this wouldn't work), and then it failed to initialize the
partition. I cannot remember the error message, but it was fatal. Bug #1.

Next the installer added /export to /etc/fstab, ignoring that the
initialization failed. This is bug #2.


I hope this helps. Regards

Harri
