Hi,
While installing openbsd on vmware using today's snapshot 29-sep-2015, I
get the following message on the final part of the install process, leaving
the system in an unusable state (not booting normally after installing from
bsd.rd).
The hypervisor is running esx 5.1.0
Guest settings:
128mb ram
1gb hdd
SCSI controller is set to paravirtual
NIC is set to vmx3
installboot: invalid boot record signature (0x0000) @ sector 0
Failed to install bootblocks.
You will not be able to boot OpenBSD from sd0
Best regards,
Pedro Caetano

Is you disk is thick os thin provisioned?
In should be thick and eager zeroed.
There are ways to move from thin to thick. Google for it.

There's a problem with vmwpvs(4) where the first write gets lost.

IIRC if you shell out from the installer and run fdisk -iy sd0 manually
once, then resume installing, it then works.
