I'd really appreciate some clarification:



BTW: One more thing is not clear for me from that FAQ as well as:

Thank you,

*Normally*, only one OpenBSD fdisk partition will be placed on a disk and that partition will then be subdivided into disklabel partitions. The fs naming scheme suggests that only one OpenBSD partition for a drive is allowed. *Normally* only one fdisk partition. How about *abnormally*? I mean: is it technically possible to place (and use!) more than one OpenBSD partition for a drive? If I'm able to mount an NTFS or EXT3 partition using a /dev/* block device file. What are the names for OTHER fdisk partitions?
