Greetings all,

First, be warned that this is a n00b question. So, if
there is a chance you'll get irritated by such a
question, it is best to stop reading at this point :-)

OK then...

I am trying to install 3.6 snapshot from a couple of
days ago (8-25 i think) on an i386 system.

The disk is 80Gig in size.

Lets say I can use first 20Gig and last 40Gig of the
drive for openbsd. I would like to dedicate the first
20Gigs to the system (split between /, swap, /var,
/tmp and /usr) and make the last 40Gig /home.

I successfully completed the fdisk(8) bit of the
installation (at least I hope I did :-). However,
during the disklabel(8) phase of the install, how can
I add a partition for /home?

> a g
No space left, you need to shrink a partition

1. What am I missing? :-)

2. Is there a way to have two openbsd partition (say,
each with different versions of openbsd: 3.4 and 3.6
for example) and selectively boot into either one, and
have them share one single /home partition?

Thanks in advance,
--patrick
