i am trying to make this one work.  but i dont know how the openbsd dd
example translates into the linux one, there is no 'c' for all disk.
if i do a

# zcat image | dd of=/dev/sdd

linux fdisk reports an invalid partition table.
i tried to create an a6 bootable partition and then

# zcat image | dd of=/dev/sdd1

but neither of these boot.  the second one hangs, the first one
gives a partition error...


could someone please upload somewhere a basic install or just bsd.rd
as an image already installed on the media?  and the linux dd/fdisk
dance around it?
