Please can someone tell why disk geometry changed after install
in installation time on empty sd0:
Disk: sd0 geometry: 78753/2/911 [143638992 Sectors]
Offset: 0 Signature: 0x0

How to understand in installation time which geometry is correct for
curent disk? What is the starting point for calculations? Number of sectors?
In which case, if you want to set it right, your best bet is to say
'No' to letting OpenBSD use the whole disk, then setting the correct
geometry by

so we must prepare MBR with 3rd party tools before OpenBSD installation?

In some cases thedisk is queried, and in other cases not.
But geomtery is largely

No, fdisk

You had crap and then OBSD fixed it.
It is as simple as that.

1. zero filled disk is not a crap, its just empty and nothing to fix
there :-) zero disks just need NEW CORRECT info to be placed on them
2. If it is crap, why this crappy information used for partitioning ?

I don't know what that is, or where it came from,
but I don't think any 80386-type pc-BIOS could handle that
