Hi.

Not stupid at all.

Flashboot is not intended to replace a standard OpenBSD installation and if
you want to use a normal installation on a USB stick then you are probably
best off with the installation process that you described.

Flashboot is made for appliances with sd-card from 128 Mb (64 Mb with
little work). The entire file system is mounted as read only and the
sd-card will not wear out. The update process is also simplified since you
only has to replace the kernel (ramdisk with entire userlard) and you are
up and running a new version of OpenBSD in minutes.

Later some new scripts has been added to simplify and the script that makes
a bootable usb image of the install51.iso is one example of that but that
is not the Flashboot core, just a little tool.

Best regards Johan Ryberg
