Using one big "a" partition means:
- higher risk of filesystem damage to system partitions after an
unsafe restart (crash, power failure): if a partition isn't actively
written to, it's less likely to suffer damage
- missing protective flags (e.g. nodev, nosuid) that are set on
mounts that don't

So let's say I'm a fool, I use a foolish partition layout, and the intel x86

So why openbsd 6.4 i386 and amd64 bootloaders (not biosboot, boot!)

Evidence supplied?
BTW, the i386 and amd64 bootloaders are largely identical. You better

Hi,
I just installed OpenBSD 6.4 on an older Dell PowerEdge R410 server. The
