Hello,
I've been in need for yaifo for quite some time now, so I decided to bring up some patches to make it work with -CURRENT. This is work in progress. I only built it on amd64, maybe it will build on i386 but it will certainly not work for other architectures. yaifo.rd boots but you cannot do much via ssh because it fails to allocate a pty:
asterix% ssh [email protected]
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0

Welcome to the OpenBSD/amd64 5.5 installation program.

So basically you can type commands but don't get any output. I don't know why this happens, I even tried to add the pty pseudo-device to the kernel config file without success. yaifo.fs does not work, it cannot find the kernel to boot. installboot throws some warnings but I don't have enough understanding of the boot process to figure out right now what's going wrong.

If anybody wants to have a look, here is the patched tarball:

I was able to build it against OpenBSD 5.5 GENERIC.MP#284 amd64.

Best regards,
Jona
