Re: 6.8 Install Issue

Another 6.8 install failure.

What specifically does "disklabel: DIOCWDINFO: Device busy" mean at the end of disklabel???
Does it mean I have hardware failure???

When I let OpenBSD 6.8 partition the disk and use the default disklabel, I get:

Available disks are: sd0 sd1.
Which disk is the root disk? ('?' for details) [sd0]
Disk: sd0 geometry: 15566/255/63 [250069680 Sectors]

You don't understand the OpenBSD installed.  That / is the root filesystem
of the install-tool fileysystem inside the bsd.rd

It is corrupt.  Someone wrote to it.  Whatever happpened to the bsd.rd
you used is outside our control, because it has been modified.
