I recently got my hands on a 1.42GHZ Emac with a faulty disk drive, is it
possible to use a usb or firewire external disk drive to install OpenBSD and if
not is there another way to install OpenBSD on my Emac?
Thanks.
I've had to deal with the same issue, the annoying kids of the emacs
previous owner felt the need to try and shove 2 CD's into the slot
loading tray.
If you are able to boot into MacOS, just download a bsd.rd and put it in
the root partition of the mac filesystem. OpenFirmware will then be able
to boot it with "boot hd:,ofwboot bsd.rd"
I have more than a dozen PowerPC devices, and this is how I have loaded
OpenBSD on most of them.
