>Notice that you installed a snapshot, not a release. That's right...couldn't find a 5.5 release that the installation notes were referencing: http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/armv7/INSTALL.armv7 Perhaps this was just written preemptively for the release of 5.5 >If you install a snapshot, you should use packages from a snapshot as well. Unfortunately, the armv7 packages sometimes lag quite a big (slow machines and all), so that may mean building stuff yourself. I suppose that's why this exists but it's empty: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/arm/ Thanks, Jungle On 18 March 2014 11:57, Ted Unangst <t...@tedunangst.com> wrote: > On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 11:44, jungleboogie0 wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > I followed these instructions on how to install openBSD 5.5 snapshot onto > > my beaglebone: > > http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/armv7/INSTALL.armv7 > > Notice that you installed a snapshot, not a release. > > > > > But the problem now is with packages.
