Perhaps I should point out that the only reason I suggested installing
OpenBSD on the stick here was for recovery purposes, and for installing
the boot loader.
The boot loader allows you to select the HDD you have at the start. So
edit /etc/boot.conf *on the stick* as follows:
boot sr0a:/bsd
That should do the trick.
On your softraid volume is your plain, normal OpenBSD install (similar
to how it would be installed on a non-softraided partition). No
trickery
needed there, and no need to store the "b" partition somewhere else
either, its fine on the softraid partition.
Ah dear, there are more block devices in the booat loader than "hd", is
that in any man page anywhere??
Thanks for bringing up.
Now, what you suggest, is it:
On the USB stick, create two BSD partitions: one for the crypto keydisk,
and one being a softraid, with one partition in it, being an UFS
filesystem with /boot and /etc/boot.conf , with the line "boot
sr0a:/bsd" in it?
But wouldn't the sr0 be the boot softraid then - and the HDD softraid be
sr1?
Please clarify the utility and how to do it.
Thanks,
