Hi.

It is just as the subject says.

During installation, there comes a point where partitioning is
necessary. The default, e.g. just pressing enter, will automatically
take over the whole drive, which is fine I suppose; however, the lack of
a confirmation isn't.

Personally, I was going to manually create the partitions, and I decided
I wanted to use more space than I originally planned, but I needed to
shrink a btrfs, which requires me to boot into a Linux. I aborted out of
fdisk, then it prompted me again to create the partitions. I wanted to
shutdown (and was too lazy to press the power button), so, trying to get
to the shell to poweroff, I press either ctrl-c or ctrl-d; however, the
default action was chosen without confirmation, and there goes my
partition table... (I was able to get it back; no worries).

That was 3 to 4 months ago. I thought I'll try OpenBSD another day.
Today was the day! Only for the same exact thing to happen again...
Seems like I just don't learn.

Still, a confirmation for overwritting an existing partiton table would
be a bit useful, I guess.

Regards.
