Using one big "a" partition means:
- higher risk of filesystem damage to system partitions after an
unsafe restart (crash, power failure): if a partition isn't actively
written to, it's less likely to suffer damage
- missing protective flags (e.g. nodev, nosuid) that are set on
mounts that don't

So let's say I'm a fool, I use a foolish partition layout, and the intel x86
and amd64 architectures are tricky/shitty architectures with stupid bioses
which work bad, ok?
So why openbsd 6.4 i386 and amd64 bootloaders (not biosboot, boot!)
express different behavior? Wasn't openbsd about correctnes
Why are so many people lining up to die on the "One big root partition"
hill? Partition your disks for fuck's sake, or if you are too lazy to
do that, just let the installer do it for you. And, no, it doesn't
"just work", it doesn't, it just hasn't broken yet.
Also, both install.i386 and instal

Evidence supplied?
BTW, the i386 and amd64 bootloaders are largely identical. You better

Big "a" slice may not be advised and not secure for production, but it
always worked.
(and on i386 it still works, even on amd64 with the i386 bootloader)
So I agree that it is not good practice but to quick test machines I've did
it many times.

This has occurred three times just this week. I'm curious why you did this;
is there a new FAQ or someone
Indeed, I just created one huge "a" slice with 500 GB for my / root partition.
I will try first to create a smaller/many slices...

Hi,
I just installed OpenBSD 6.4 on an older Dell PowerEdge R410 server. The
installation went fine but upon reboot I get to the "boot>" prompt then the
first line of the OpenBSD boot starts with all the numbers displaying but like
2 seconds later the whole server reboots. Any idea what that co
