disklabel and ext3 partitions on amd64

I'm currently running OpenBSD/i386 3.8 on an AMD64 machine and just went to install the latest AMD64 snapshot. The hard drive I'm installing to has a number of ext3 partitions contained in an extended partition. When I installed OpenBSD/i386 3.8 on this machine I issued the D command during

Re: Automatic setup of partitions

After assigning a default disklabel (to a blank disk), can I just feed disklabel the partition information? ie, just this part: pipe into disklabel -E, perhaps?

Re: Automatic setup of partitions

Here's a snippet of something I've been working on along the same lines - this is /bin/csh syntax, and works on raid0 but should work on regular partitions as well: echo get raid size... @ r_tot = `disklabel -p g raid0 | awk '/total bytes/ { print int($3) }'` @ r_root = 1; @ r_tot -= $r_root

I would like to know if it is possible to continue restoring partitions after having restored the root partition. The FAQ mentions that the new root filesystem should be ready enough so you can reboot and continue restoring the rest of the filesystems in single user mode. I tried to restore
