Strange Fdisk Output-help!



Hi all,

One of my collegues installed OpenBSD in his machine. He had given the
partition ID as A6 and edited the Partition 0 in sectors mode. He
chose the default offset and then gave the size as 8000m and
everything was OK. Then he installed some software from ports and
packages and afterwards when he checked the output of fdisk wd0 he got
this strange display!

Please someone comment on this! I have no Idea about this. will it be
possible to create other partitions on this disk with this partition
0. Eventhough the Partition ID of Partition 0 is not A6 OpenBSD
happily boots up normally and functions normally.

Disk: wd0	geometry: 5174/240/63 [78230880 Sectors]
