Hello, for around 10 years I build a custom cd bootable version of OpenBSD. The project was started with OpenBSD 3.4 and is updated with each OpenBSD release.
Basically I take the GERNERIC kernel configuration and change config bsd swap generic to config bsd root on rd0a And I also add: option RAMDISK_HOOKS option MINIROOTSIZE=4480 pseudo-device rd 1 The rest are changes to the ramdisk configuration. I added mount_mfs to the ramdisk and some scripts to boot from cd. Starting with OpenBSD 5.7 I cannot build a bootable kernel and I don't know why. The kernel build itself shows no errors, but when I boot from CD I get: Booting from DVD/CD... CD-ROM: E0 Loading /CDBOOT probing: pc0 com0 mem[639K 698; a20=on] disk: hd0+ cd0 >> OpenBSD/amd64 CDBOOT 3.23 boot> cannot open cd0a:/etc/random.seed: No such file or directory booting cd0a:/bsd.gz: 5798084+2048752+2532360+0+589824=0xa782d8 entry point at 0x1000160 [7205c766, 34000004, 24448b12, 1080a304] == At this point the system reboots. No further messages. Booting with -c results also in a reboot. Then I took the RAMDISK_CD configuration and added "option MFS". This time the kernel boots with the customised ramdisk, but the RAMDISK_CD lacks some features like the pf firewall. Adding more features to the RAMDISK_CD configuration I cannot compile the kernel anymore. So the question is what can I do to find out the cause of the problem or maybe someone has already a clue what the problem is. Thanks, Oliver
