Hi, I've been trying to install OpenBSD on a Sharp Zaurus.

Two things:

Firstly, the example partition table from fdisk in the docummentation is
deceptive (had me chasing my tail for a while). The size of partition 3
should be 6766528 non 7999488 (which is the size of the whole disk).

Also, is it possible to install of USB mass storage devices (ie a USB key)?

I plug in a key, and it informs me that 2 targets have been added at sd0
and sd1 (the key has 2 partitions). I'm at a loss how to mount them,
though. There seems to be no /dev/sd0 device. There are /dev/sd0? devices,
but /dev/sd0a gives "device not configured" as an error when I try to
mount it.

Sorry for being a bit n00bish, but I'm totally new to OpenBSD.

-Ed
