Hey! I am amazed how quickly you answered and how many details you give! This is something I really missed in the ubuntu forums :) It is "even" (don't be upset please) than in the gentoo forums, actually
Using fdisk is fine, it remembers me of my first Linux installation back in 1996 I think. I was pretty similar but the configuration of the hardware and small hacking of the kernel to adapt it to the laptop was much more difficult than anything in the OpenBSD installation, which is very nice. Now... I will tell you how I solved the problem: I did indeed use *all* the disk for OpenBSD, which fixed the boot problem, of course but something happened. I have now OpenBSD installed and running gnome perfectly but I realised that when I was "playing" around with fdisk in the first installation attempts I had to go to the toilet and closed the lid of the laptop mid in the installation process, when fdisk was prompting, so that nothing crucial was going on; fdisk was waiting for an answer from me. When I can back... I found out that the laptop had been automatically suspended to RAM!! Now, this was a really nice thing to see! The system (actually the installation) woke up when I opened the lid. BUT... after I installed the system totally (this time giving OpenBSD all of the disk) I wanted to check it out again and I found out that either closing the lid or pressing the Fn + moon would just freeze the laptop. Why is that? I mean, why was suspend-to-RAM working fine during the installation but now it's freezing the laptop? I know, I know... too many questions for today, but I'm just excited... Thanks anyway to everybody Pau _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
