Greetings,

I grabbed a snapshot from July 3rd to install on my macppc.
I've been meaning to get rid of my MacOS X partition off of
this ibook for a while, and this installation was going to
be the one to do it.

So I think I was doing things correctly to achieve this goal,
namely, choosing MBR vs HFS during the install and using the
entire disk for obsd. But as you can see the HFS partition
would not go away, even though the installer said it was
creating "a 1MB DOS partition and an OpenBSD partition for
rest of wd0" you can see the HFS partition in the subsequent
disklabel output.

I tried a few things to get rid of the HFS, including deleting
it from fdisk, fdisk -i, editing the disklabel (using "E"
option during install) and deleting slices and saving the
disklabel and re-running the installer (rebooting off CDR).

Even when fdisk shows the HFS partitions are gone, somehow
the disklabel shows it still! [3]

Finally I escaped to shell and resorted to:

        $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/wd0c count=10240 bs=1024

before I saw the HFS partition reference completely gone
from the disklabel output and the 1MB MSDOS partition show
up [4].

I didn't dig through the installer, but is there some sort
of caching issue here, or something more odd is at play?


I took photos, hope you don't mind. I figured that way I
would avoid typos.

The first photo [1] is the first run of the installer. I
should've taken some notes while I was doing this this but
unfortunately I didn't: I think the second photo [2] is
after changes to the disklabel ("E" options) -- but I may
be wrong. Next photo [3] is after I ran `fdisk -i wd0'. The
final photo [4] is after the `dd' zero-ing out some of wd0
when things started to look "better".

Maybe I'm doing something really wrong here, so feel free
to point out my mistake(s).


Also, I'm curious, where did the installer get the idea
that I'm in US/Pacific? IIRC, in the past times, it always
choose Canada/Eastern. Did the default change or is the
installer getting "smarter" (somehow)?

Thanks,
--patrick
