Hi, I think the answer is different... I was thinking GNU/Linux instead of thinking OpenBSD!
:) Since I also have to use the disks with systems with GNU/Linux on them, I can just format the disks to ffs and then mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/... /openbsd from GNU/Linux but this requires support into the kernel. I guess you have to enable CONFIG_UFS_FS & CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE and compile a new kernel and that's it I know that compiling kernels is something you (we) o'bsd users are not doing everyday but I am used to, since in GNU/Linux there is not such a strong (and nice) unification; OS is kernel + software, whilst in o'bsd I've got the feeling (so far, after 1 week) that the kernel and the system are almost a single thing.
