My box its configured to have on the first partition W2k and on the
second partition OBSD. Now i want to get rid of the w2k to make it an
A6 obsd partition. After setting the partition type to A6 with fdisk,
obsd panics and i am unable to boot obsd. I have set the partition
type back to w2k type and i can boot obsd again.
How can i change and add this partition to obsd. Should i just change
the disklabel and make a ffs filesystem on it with ffs?
In the mbr disktabel the partition type would then not be set to A6, does
this matter for normal use ?
Here's my partition tabel
Disk: wd0 geometry: 786/128/63 [6338304 sectors]
