I'm trying to install OpenBSD on a VPS with Debian/GRUB2.
I get bsd.rd, in GRUB2 I launch the installer with:
    set root=(hd0,X)
    kopenbsd /bsd.rd
    boot

The installation is ok, but GRUB2 still remains.
So, when I reboot, GRUB2 menu appears, and OpenBSD can be started only with:
    set root=(hd0,X)
    kopenbsd /bsd
    boot

I would like to automatically start OpenBSD at reboot.

Is it possible to overwrite GRUB2 in the installation process?
Or, is it possible to add a GRUB2 entry in OpenBSD?

Hi Luca,

it should be possible,
if you choose "Whole disk MBR (w)" or "Whole disk GPT (g)"
before partitioning.

Be aware that this will also erase your Debian install too.
