Hi,
I use my OpenBSD workstation for CAD drafting and the parametric
generation of CAD files should be speed up by running the faster drive.
On an MSI b840m-b board with a WD 7100 m2_2280 drive, OpenBSD installs
to the drive (sd0 option) without issue. On the other hand, MSI's bios
does not recognize the M2_1 drive as a boot option.
I tried to work around by using Devuan grub on the SATA HD and
chainbooting with this entry in Devuan /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[CODE]
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry 'OpenBSD Current' {
chainloader (hd2,gpt1)/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
}
[/CODE]
The OpenBSD boot prompt comes up but
"cannot open hd0a:/etc/random.seed: No such file or directory"
I'm assuming random.seed was generated at install but
/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI is hard coded to look only at hd0a.
I'm open to any suggestions; forced boot, generating a /etc/random.seed
in Devuan and MoBo that have more accommodating bios boot options.
