*SO WHAT* ? Reread the original question: > I was thinking of dual booting OpenBSd and Windows 8.1. Has anyone > managed to do that? It is a very specific question. There is *no answer* to that *specific* question in the FAQ. Your answer: > Why don't you follow official guide mentioned zillion of times > everywhere around here? is not nice at all, and completely unwarranted! the faq doesn't answer that specific question, right now! Yes, newcomers get flamed regularly around there. But *not without justification*. Which is what you just did. You could point the guy at the FAQ, with caveats since the FAQ *doesn't cover his specific case*. But your way of phrasing your answer is not a polite way to put it, and it's completely unjustified !
