Recently I bought a Cubieboard 2 with hope that I'll be able to run OpenBSD on it. The armv7 page says the board is supported and all the devices I hoped to use are listed as supported. Installation instructions seemed dead simple. However, I am struggling for two days already trying to boot this thing up and have gotten nowhere.
I want to install the snapshot version of OpenBSD, so according to INSTALL.armv7 I did: # dd if=miniroot-cubie-58.fs of=/dev/rsd3c bs=1m After inserting the uSD card into the board and powering it up the following appears on the serial console: HELLO! BOOT0 is starting! boot0 version : 3.0.0 dram size =1024 sum=0x01be1e3a src_sum=0x01be1e3a Ready to disable icache. Jump to secend Boot.

The only thing that tickles me is that INSTALL.armv7 document says that miniroot-cubie-58.fs in the release folder is for Cubieboard 1 version which, I guess, may cause some problems even though Cubie 1 and 2 are very similar machines (according to official Cubieboard website). If this is the case and I have the wrong miniroot filesystem, how do I get/make the correct one for Cubieboard 2? If not, what else might cause the system not to boot? P.S. This is my first time posting to a mailing list of any kind, please feel free to make suggestions on how I can do it better the next time. Kind regards, Viktor
