Hello, I try to install OpenBSD on a PX-EH 160Gb.
I have found a cable for the serial console port, but I do not know how to connect it. The bard has the 4 holes as described: It seems I need to some soldering... I was wondering if it is possible to install everything from an other computer and then migrate the disk... and then connect the box by ssh. I move the disk to a usb HD-box connect to a soekris. I ftp a snapshot version of OpenBSD for landisk. I uncompress it in /install to get boot, mbr, xxboot, etc. The drive show up as sd0 (usb on the soekris) > fdisk -f /install/usr/mdec/mbr sd0 I fdisk it with the landisk mbr make a "a" partition of 2Gb to have enough room make a "b" swap of 512 Mb. > newfs sd0a > mount /dev/sd0a /mnt > cd /mnt > tar zxpf /install/base41.tgz > tar zxpf /install/etc41.tgz > tar zxpf /install/man41.tgz > tar zxpf /install/misc41.tgz > tar zxpf /install/comp41.tgz I would like to go further but I did not find how to install the xxboot and boot stuff. I try to start with miniroot41.fs hoping I can growfs it. But the geom of the disk get me some headhake. > fdisk -i sd0 fdisk: sysctl(machdep.bios.diskinfo): Device not configured ----------------------------------------------------- ------ ATTENTION - UPDATING MASTER BOOT RECORD ------ ----------------------------------------------------- Do you wish to write new MBR and partition table?
