the FAQ cannot deal with every possible setup... having a partition on the disk where you want to put openbsd is kind of a basic requirement (just like having a computer), and how you get there is case by case specific. but why would you want to go back to MBR? new notebooks with windows 10 come with GPT. the only real PITA at the moment is that openbsd fdisk cannot add new GPT partitions only edit existing ones. many OEM windows notebooks already come with 4-5 GPT partitions: 1. the 300MB EUFI 2. the 128MB MSR 3. the primary OS partition (normally C:) 4. WinRE (recovery tools) 5. BIOS_RVY (recovery image) (my notebook even had a data (D:) between 4 and 5...) so you need to have the partition destined for openbsd present, then it's possible to edit it in fdisk. -f --
