Dear all,

First post on this mailing-list :)

I attempted yesterday to install OpenBSD 6.9 on an iBook G4 / PowerBook
6,7 (currently running MorphOS) with an USB drive. I downloaded this
image: https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.9/macppc/install69.iso and
dd'ed it on GNU/Linux Debian 11 x86_64 to a working USB drive with the
following command:

dd if=/path/to/install69.iso of=/dev/sda

Once the image properly copied to the USB drive I then inserted it in a
free USB port on the iBook G4. I booted the laptop up holding
ALT+APPLE+O+F down to enter Open Firmware. I believe my USB drive to be
aliased as "ud" in Open Firmware, so I tried to boot using this command:

boot ud:,ofwboot /6.9/macppc/bsd.rd

But unfortunately it didn't work. What did I do wrong ?

Best regards,

Samuel
