Re: Problems with OpenBSD 4.4 amd64 install (solved)
Yes, I did create a separate partition for /etc. I did the install over without separate partition for /etc, now it works. Thanks!

Thanks! No suprise here: /etc contains important files to boot the system. Other top level dirs that really should be in the root partition: /bin, /sbin, /root and /dev. -Otto On Mon, 09 Feb 2009 14:30:33 +0100 Josh Grosse j...@jggimi.homeip.net wrote: On Mon, 09 Feb 2009 13:38:47 +0100, auto709563 wrote I have installed 4.4 on amd64.
