hi there, i gave 4.6-beta a shot tonight and this is the first mail to report some findings.
this is the fdisk output on the notebook. please note that there are 3 NTFS partitions and an openbsd one. Disk: wd0 geometry: 38913/255/63 [625142448 Sectors] Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55 Starting Ending LBA Info: #: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *0: 07 0 1 1 - 8354 254 63 [ 63: 134223012 ] NTFS 1: 07 8355 0 1 - 25063 254 63 [ 134223075: 268430085 ] NTFS 2: A6 25064 0 1 - 29240 254 63 [ 402653160: 67103505 ] OpenBSD 3: 07 29241 0 1 - 38912 254 63 [ 469756665: 155380680 ] NTFS when i am presented with the (a)utolayout the 3 NTFS partitions show up (correctly) as i, j, and k amongst the miriad openbsd partitions. however if i choose (e)dit layout i am presented with the following disklabel output: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 67103505 402653160 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 c: 625142448 0 unused i: 134223012 63 NTFS j: 268430085 134223075 NTFS 'k' is gone. if indeed the installer removed it before having me the interactive prompt, i guess the new disklabel would really not contain 'k' if i saved it (i didn't). instead i edited the autolayout and made my own layout. -f OpenBSD 4.6 (RAMDISK_CD) #38: Thu Jul 2 00:16:47 MDT 2009 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAMDISK_CD cpu0: AMD Turion(tm) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-80 ("AuthenticAMD" 686-class, 1024KB L2 cache) 2.11 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT,SSE3,CX16 real mem = 3217108992 (3068MB) avail mem = 3118411776 (2973MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 02/08/08, SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xbfb51018 (53 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "E1652NMS VER.106" date 12/26/2008 bios0: Micro-Star International GX-630 acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP APIC SSDT MCFG SLIC acpimadt0 at acpi0 addr 0xfee00000: PC-AT compat cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: apic clock running at 200MHz cpu at mainbus0: not configured ioapic0 at mainbus0: apid 0 pa 0xfec00000, version 11, 24 pins acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpiprt1 at acpi0: bus 3 (BR12) acpiprt2 at acpi0: bus 4 (BR13) acpiprt3 at acpi0: bus 5 (BR14) acpiprt4 at acpi0: bus 8 (BR16) bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xe200 0xce800/0x1800 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (bios) "NVIDIA MCP77 Memory" rev 0xa2 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 not configured pcib0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 vendor "NVIDIA", unknown product 0x075e rev 0xa2 "NVIDIA MCP77 SMBus" rev 0xa1 at pci0 dev 1 function 1 not configured "NVIDIA MCP77 Co-processor" rev 0xa2 at pci0 dev 1 function 3 not configured "NVIDIA MCP77 Memory" rev 0xa1 at pci0 dev 1 function 4 not configured ohci0 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "NVIDIA MCP77 USB" rev 0xa1: apic 0 int 7 (irq 7), version 1.0, legacy support ehci0 at pci0 dev 2 function 1 "NVIDIA MCP77 USB" rev 0xa1: apic 0 int 11 (irq 11) usb0 at ehci0: USB revision 2.0 uhub0 at usb0 "NVIDIA EHCI root hub" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 1 ohci1 at pci0 dev 4 function 0 "NVIDIA MCP77 USB" rev 0xa1: apic 0 int 5 (irq 5), version 1.0, legacy support ehci1 at pci0 dev 4 function 1 "NVIDIA MCP77 USB" rev 0xa1: apic 0 int 7 (irq 7) usb1 at ehci1: USB revision 2.0 uhub1 at usb1 "NVIDIA EHCI root hub" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 1 pciide0 at pci0 dev 6 function 0 "NVIDIA MCP77 IDE" rev 0xa1: DMA, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility pciide0: channel 0 ignored (disabled) pciide0: channel 1 ignored (disabled) "NVIDIA MCP77 HD Audio" rev 0xa1 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 not configured ppb0 at pci0 dev 8 function 0 "NVIDIA MCP77 PCI" rev 0xa1 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 pciide1 at pci0 dev 9 function 0 "NVIDIA MCP77 AHCI" rev 0xa2: DMA (unsupported), channel 0 wired to native-PCI, channel 1 wired to native-PCI pciide1: using apic 0 int 10 (irq 10) for native-PCI interrupt wd0 at pciide1 channel 0 drive 0: <FUJITSU MHZ2320BH G2> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 305245MB, 625142448 sectors atapiscsi0 at pciide1 channel 0 drive 1 scsibus0 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <Optiarc, DVD RW AD-7560S, SX01> ATAPI 5/cdrom removable pciide1: channel 1 ignored (not responding;
