It is included in the i386 tools area of this distribution as +a convenience. It is strongly advised that you read its documentation +and understand the consequences of your actions before using it. In some +cases, defragmenting your disk and running fips may be much faster than +reinstalling your DOS partitition from the backup. + Your hard disk is now prepared to have OpenBSD installed on it, and you should proceed with the installation instructions. |
