I'm assuming your USB drive has an external power supply, right?
In the past, I had installed OpenBSD (I think it was 4.7, either i386 or
amd64) to an external usb drive, powered from the usb port. It would
appear
to install ok, start the boot process, then about halfway through would
appear to "power cycle" or something for a split second, causing the
boot to
fail. Same thing would happen with FreeBSD and Slackware, though
Ubuntu and
Fedora could successfully boot from that drive.
Now that this topic has come up on the lists, I am just wondering are
there
some non-externally powered usb drives that OpenBSD can boot from?
Would be
helpful to run and test -current on external drive, and have the release
version on internal drive.
Besides flash drives, which are trivially available in 8 Gig size at
your local supermarket?
Yes, besides those, since I prefer the 300gb size of hard drives :-)
