Yep. And because the only persistent memory is Flash (32MB, which
quickly dies if you permanently write to it), the whole system runs
inside a RAMDISK only. And there is no terminal or ssh. Modifying the
system means setting up a new system with modified /sbin/init each time.
Hard to believe, I know, but what people do with OpenBSD is sometimes
quite different from what you know from "usual systems". I said it's
embedded stuff. I said hardware cannot be changed. I said I cannot
easily provide this info. There certainly is a way, but it's not worth
the effort.
I can provide a dmesg from a virtual machine that we use for testing
purposes, but obviously that's not the same as the system that the
kernel is going to be running on later in production environment. But,
hey, yet, I haven't been able to compile the kernel on this testing
machine, either. I explain this so elaborately because I know I'd
otherwise get replies like: "What did you tell us about having little
memory and such, this is a usual virtual machine and therefor you've got
no need to use a custom kernel..." ;-) You know what I mean... My goal
is to have kernel config files that will do on both, the virtual machine
for testing and the production environment. Being able to compile a
custom kernel on this VM would be a good first step. From there on I
could add the drivers I need on the production machine and that way get
closer to a final solution...
I'm very curious how dmesg will help...
