Open bsd------ORADEF++++


I have already installed fedora core 1 on my newly built pc. I have a copy of open bsd 3.4 and I would like to know to things. Now that I have fedora can I dual boot open bsd, and also before I ever tried to install fedora I installed the bsd os and when I tried to boot it it left me at a shell promt as if I was supposed to put info there so I entered login and password and got nothing, after you install bsd and boot for the first time shouldnt the machine already have a space for login and password instead of something else or am I missing a step here.

I am not sure I understand your question.

What prompt are you left at and when?

X does not start by default on OpenBSD. When you reboot a box after the initial install you'll be left at a login prompt. Login as root (you do remember the root password that you picked during the install, right? and create a new account with adduser. You can also configure X with xf86config.
