When I try, I never get it to see "root on sd0a swap on sd0b dump on sd0b"
by itself, at least without boot -a or a kernel recompile...
By chance, have you tried the same with non -current - just wondering if it
boots and detects ok with root on sd0a?
Okay, this is what I did. Got the snapshot from ftp2.de.openbsd.org and
booted a pc with the iso image mounted. I used the complete stick for
OpenBSD, creating 827mb for / and 128m for swap (a & b).
Installed the whole set (except game*) on my 1gb usb stick (which was sd1
during install) and rebooted
the pc. After that I mounted the stick and edited fstab and changed sd1a
to sd0a.
Took the stick, told the eee to boot from usb and the snapshot was up
and running. Tried to access web and ssh via the integrated lii0
ethernet, it worked. Starting up X, using startx with no config file, it
came up and runs. Nice.
So, there was no need to recompile the kernel in the snapshot from the
ftp mentioned above.
If you are interested, I can take an original 4.2 and install it on the
stick tomorrow and can than post the dmesg.
