Hello James,
you are right users may have choice.
I'm working to build a distrib for pxebooting (pxeboot + bsd.rd
generation). After i will try to implement those patches, which are very
interesting for OpenBSD

Hello Don,
I haven't any problem with iPXE (used on my libvirt/KVM hypervisor).
Yesterday i have booted on a pxelinux which chainload a OpenBSD

debian install or OpenBSD.

Hello Marian,
i think you are right, because bsd.rd is required for last chance to
repair system, among others.
My vision is to have a system like we have in debian, i think it's
proper. In fact, the problem is not to modify the installer to use the
configuration file, it's to setup network automa

Hi Nick,
well, obviously you have a different opinion on automated installations.
For me it's even crucial with just 10 boxes.
I'm taking into account that I want to introduce more OpenBSD
installations at work and that I also need to install QA environments.

Hi +1
We need this too!
We need a fully automated OpenBSD install including partitioning etc,
as we need to do installs on sites where an engineer cannot go
(cheaply).
I know the dev work is more than 2 hours.. Obviously.. But their are
tens of thousands of OpenBSD users with /many/ servers

Hi loic,
Sorry for top posting.
I need exactly the same for OpenBSD. Maybe we could work together... In my
example all I need on top of it is some same network config and a first puppet
run after reboot...
But I hesitated to modify bsd.rd...
Maybe it's more wise to create a "netboot.rd" and let bs

Hello Tito,
thanks to give me another time the FAQ, you think i have never read.
This boot process is okay for me but the problem is NOT the PXE boot
process. The problem is to automate the installation.
My OpenBSD pxeboot is chained after a pxelinux which already deserve
automated installed debian
Please read http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PXE and hope this helps.
You'd have been told with deliberately unpleasant choice of words if next
time you don't research well before asking in the list.

Please read the FAQ entry I sent you, pay close attention to install.site and
upgrade.site.
Both of those are scripts that are executed by the installer.
Fully automatic installs have been done, usually by modifying the installer
script or root's .profile.

Today i'm working on automated deploy with PXE. I have successful found
