I am now, after hours typing in the damned web console and dealing
with the buggy installer, a little bit furious. This is definitively
not the OpenBSD I know!
I did manage to install OpenBSD in VMWare, with the "autopartition", but
I want a custom partition due to my spare resources. I will now do a
pause to calm myself and then continue trying. I appreciate any hint
and thank for it very much.
My remarks:
(1) There no way to write a custom disklabel. After doing it, after giving the
command w and leaving with x, or after leaving with q, the installer
overwrites it with something arbitrary that may be unusable (then
one will note it no later than when loading the sets due to error
"cannot determine prefetch ...").
(2) "disklabel -E" in cd65.iso puts a cpg=1 for all partitions: is that
correct?
(4) No way to leave the disklabel as it is. I wrote one with the shell
of cd65.iso (and cpg=1), also did nefwfs on the partitions, but
the installer do not show the partition it anywhere. One is compelled
to type again, and again comes the unusable arbitrary modification.
(5) Auto allocaton puts partitions for X11 even if one selects
that one will run no X11.
(6) No vi in cd65.iso (but at least ed).
