Hello,
I try to install OpenBSD on a PX-EH 160Gb.
I have found a cable for the serial console port, but I do not know how to
connect it. The bard has the 4 holes as described: It seems I need to some
soldering...
I was wondering if it is possible to install everything from an other
computer and then migrate the disk... and then connect the box by ssh.
I move the disk to a usb HD-box connect to a soekris.
I ftp a snapshot version of OpenBSD for landisk.
I uncompress it in /install to get boot, mbr, xxboot, etc.
The drive show up as sd0 (usb on the soekris)
> fdisk -f /install/usr/mdec/mbr sd0
I fdisk it with the landisk mbr
make a "a" partition of 2Gb to have enough room
make a "b" swap of 512 Mb.
> newfs sd0a
> mount /dev/sd0a /mnt
> cd /mnt
> tar zxpf /install/base41.tgz
> tar zxpf /install/etc41.tgz
> tar zxpf /install/man41.tgz
> tar zxpf /install/misc41.tgz
> tar zxpf /install/comp41.tgz
I would like to go further but I did not find how to install the xxboot
and boot stuff.
I try to start with miniroot41.fs hoping I can growfs it.
But the geom of the disk get me some headhake.
