OK, I got it booting. In a fairly useless config, but ...
Booting from a -current amd64 cd55.iso cd-rom, I (E)dited the MBR so
that the OpenBSD 'A6' partition started on sector 2048, and was 500MB
in size.
I accepted the auto configured disklabel (i.e. all space in 'a') and
installed w/o
Indeed. Experiments here show that plugging in a pci - sata card to
avoid the Intel SATA chip makes the disk work fine.
Disks smaller than 1TB also work. So I'm guessing it's something
magical about 4K-sector disks presenting themselves as 512-byte sector
disks that is the source of

So marking a partition as 'Active/Bootable', (the 00 - 80 change)
causes your system to hang. Apparently Linux does this when you
'Label' it. The OpenBSD installer does it for you when you
select 'Whole disk'. Nothing obviously to do with the disklabel. You
could test this by manually

Can you provide a hex dump of the MBR Linux produces? The evidence would
seem to point at the boot code stored in the MBR. To which I made a
recent minor tweak. So you might also try a 5.4 install to see if it
works.
Below are the hexdumps of the MBR. The before was created with Linux and
Your MBR OpenBSD partition is not flagged as active.
Yes I know, but that doesn't matter for this problem..

Did you guys see my mail yesterday ? (albeit responding to the Problem
booting OpenBSD-current AMD64 thread)
Yes I did. Sorry for the late response.
First of all I'd expect OpenBSD to create its fdisk partition on the
partition with id 3, starting at LBA offset 64. (don't know if this

Please post at least a dmesg with the disk attached but no disklabel
plus fdisk and disklabel output after setting the label but before the

Below you will find the dmesg and output from fdisk and disklabel before
