So I picked up my shiny 6gig zaurus from the post office today (glee!) and I'm preparing to blow away the terribly primitive UI that comes with it and make it an awesome OpenBSD-in-my-pocket; but I have a few questions. This isn't entirely on-topic, but google hasn't helped. Please, feel free to direct me elsewhere.
-I've discovered that the power button is really a standby button, like on Palms. However, I did `shutdown -h now` from the shell and afterwards it wouldn't turn back on. In order to make it come back I had to take off the battery cover, press the reset button, take out the battery, and put everything back. Is it like this under OpenBSD too? Is taking out the battery really a necessary step (it wouldn't turn on until after I did that, but perhaps it was actually just that the battery lock switch was 'open' that it was rejecting)? -I don't have a CF Wifi card yet, so I'll be installing from the harddrive. However, I want to blow away the partition table and set it up nicely. I'm not sure if this is logistically possible. What have other people done? I thought, perhaps I could put the install sets on an SD card but does the ramdisk kernel have support for that compiled in? -How do you people with zaurii trade data from them with other computers? Purely over the network? With SD cards? USB hubs + thumbdrives? Thanks in advance, ~Nick (so excited)
