I have a new Samsung Book4 Edge with a SnapDragon Elite X1E84100 3.8 processor. I completed the following steps using an install of OpenBSD 7.6 running in VMware running on a MacBook M1 downloaded the OpenBSD 7.6 ARM64 install76.img and the SHA256 file. ran the signify -Cp command to verify the signature. ran the dd command to create the create the installation media on a usb drive I inserted the usb drive in the Samsung Book4, booted the machine and accessed the boot memory. An entry for UEFI USB ScanDisk 3.2Gen 1 appeared in the boot sequence. I selected that entry. The machine paused for about 4-5 seconds and then booted into Windows. I repeated this process three times to ensure I did not miss something and got the same result each time. The Edge4 boot process does not read the OpenBSD install image, as far as I can see. I did note in the notes on the OpenBSD ARM64 webpage that support for the SnapDragon Qualcomm SnapDragon X Elite (X1e80100) was added after OpenBSD 7.6 was released.
Based on that your best bet is to try the same procedure with latest snapshot
Does anyone have insight as to why a Book4 Edge with this SnapDragon processor will not boot into / install OpenBSD 7.6? Are the bits required to perform the install included in the 7.6 install files? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you, Jim Sent with Proton Mail [1] secure email.
