I attached my old external drive in the just installed OpenBSD, and it got panic. I got a "ddb{0}" prompt. I should report the result of "trace" and "ps" given to that promp, but I do not know how to save that with OpenBSD in that panic state, and I dont want to get a panic again. :) > The installer expects SHA256.sig as it uses signify to verify the sets - > simply download it from your local mirror[0]. O.K. with the sets in install58.iso, the file /pub/OpenBSD/5.8/i386/SHA256.sig in the mirror and index.txt (obtained with "ls -nT > index.txt" in the directory) it worked. It would have been nice to have SHA256.sig and index.txt from the beginning in istall58.iso. Then downloading, doing vnconfig and mounting on htdocs would be enough. > I'm still not following. *Which* files exactly do you have in mind? Forget it. Perhaps unpacking with something like "tar xzpf" is enough. In any case, to have a guide for manual installing would be nice. When I have troubles with the installer (or an insaller of a OS), then I have to begin from 0. I hate it. OpenBSD has a better installer, because one have less troubles, because it is not so fat than others, that is all. Rodrigo.
