Hello arm@openbsd,
I would like to install -current on the internal ssd that has
macOS. I am a little unclear as to what disk choice I should make
in the installer. The Asahi docs say choosing (W)hole disk option
is fine https://asahilinux.org/2022/07/july-2022-release/
Has anyone tried? Would (W)hole install OpenBSD in the free space
only?
Thanks!
<JokeMode> Assuming that you mean "free space" in the BOFH sense,
sure. User: "I'm out of free space!" BOFH: *clickety-click* there,
now you got lots of free space." User: "MY FILES ARE GONE!" BOFH:
"you got lots of free space, like you asked for" </JokeMode>
Unless something is special about that platform for OpenBSD, "whole
disk" means "whole disk". NOT just the part you were aiming for. I
haven't worked with that platform, but in general, if you want to
share the disk between OSs, you will have to make some free space
before installing OpenBSD, then create an OpenBSD partition in that
free space.
Well something is special here. OpenBSD will not leave all the "Apple"
partitions intact, even when picking "(W)hole disk" in the installer.
That will still wipe any other partitions such as those created by a
Linux install for example.
Multibooting is not trivial.
True. Multibooting macOS on these machines works fine though.
Nick.
