FAQ never covers one's specific case - it covers general case and has to be applied to the situation. Windows 7 instructions work for Windows 8, and before asking on mailinglist OP should have tried it. If it failed, his query should have been: I tried to set up dualbooting Windows 8.1 with OpenBSD following the advice for Windows 7 from FAQ 4.9, but at the step *N* (command *cmd*) it failed. Did anyone have success with setting up Windows 8 and OpenBSD to play together in dualboot? Instead we got a general query *before* any action. Keep in mind that potential risk boiled down to wasted space on the hard drive, which could be easily reclaimed for OS the OP would prefer if dualboot was impossible. I see no way to defend OP against lack of proper research allegation. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
