Hello, I'm looking for help with setting up my laptop with OpenBSD. I'm pretty new to *BSD, so please, bear with me, as I'm eager and capable to learn. :-)
What I'd like to achieve: dual boot with Windows XP, with the following settings: * partitioning: 5GB (XP, ntfs), 35GB (xp data, fat32), 20GB (linux/whatever, I'm planning on using it for testing out stuff, mostly linux distros, booting from an usb stick) and the rest, some ~100GB is for OpenBSD. (This I could manage to achieve so far :-P) * booting: I'd like the system to boot from an usb stick - if the stick is not present, Windows boots, if it is present, I can choose but defaulting to OpenBSD. * encryption: I'd like to encrypt the whole OpenBSD part as a security measure if my laptop gets stolen; I'd like to have a passphrase asked at boot and using keyfiles too so if someone could guess my passphrase they still couldn't get my data without the usb stick and the keyfiles on it (and vica versa, having the usb stick alone should not give access to my system). I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but I welcome any pointers, suggestions and any help in general! Thank you, Dinchamion
