honestly it's the quoting problems and poor formatting which are what really
makes it unsuitable...

At least show us a dmesg!  How are you attaching the card?  I have a
multi-card reader that attaches 4 different sd* devices:

sd2 at scsibus4 targ 1 lun 0:  SCSI0 0/direct removable
sd3 at scsibus4 targ 1 lun 1:  SCSI0 0/direct removable
sd4 at scsibus4 targ 1 lun 2:  SCSI0 0/direct removable
sd5 at scsibus4 targ 1 lun 3:  SCSI0 0/direct removable

Why is my USB showing as multiple disks (sd1/sd2/sd3) during installation? - OpenBSD 6.1 Release + Updates

2017-08-03 Thread techay
Hello,
I'm so confused about this - I'm trying to install OBSD 6.1 to another USB from 
a USB.. This all goes well up until the point of selecting the disk to install 
to.. instead of it showing as I'd expect it to:
sd1: Generic Storage Device
it shows as:
sd1: sd2: sd3: Generic Storage Device
This same issue has happened with 2 different target USB's and 2 different 
target MicroSD cards (which my system can boot from). Can't for the life of my 
figure out what's going on. All of these devices have been wiped fully using 
gparted on my linux system.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be great, I've been 
scouring search engine for the past couple of hours on this one.
Thanks
