Hello misc,

Some days ago , I tried to install OpenBSD 6.0 using vmwpvs ( Vmware
Paravirtual )

When obsd installer finish, I received a message that the boot could not
been done using my disk.

So I did a research on OBSD mailing lists and found:


"There's a problem with vmwpvs(4) where the first write gets lost.
IIRC if you shell out from the installer and run fdisk -iy sd0 manually
once, then resume installing, it then works. "



I follow it and solved ! I was able to boot my new OpenBSD fresh install.

* I performed it using full disk encryption

Is there any workaround beside this or is it  a legit bug ?


Thank you
