Hello,
I'd like to make some bootable USB key which contains an OpenBSD live
system, if possible even with X11 included.
The background of the question is: I'm a long time FreeBSD user (since
1995) and run FreeBSD on all my laptops and netbooks. I own two Acer C720
netbooks (also known as Chromebooks) which I switched to be able to boot
normally legacy and installed this way FreeBSD on its SSD. One of
these C720 was at Acer.com for repair and since this FreeBSD does not
detect the touchpad anymore. Both have had (one still has) an i2c Cyapa
touchpad, it seems that the one which was at Acer has now some ElanTech
TP, at least some device is detected at addr 0x15 (the cyapa is at addr
0x67) of the smb. FreeBSD (even CURRENT) has no support for ElanTech TP,
only for the cyapa. I read that since OpenBSD 5.9 there is some support
for it in the driver imt(4). I would like to investigate this without
installing OpenBSD into the SSD. In FreeBSD I do know how to make a live
system and enrich this whatever software.
Can someone please be so kind and point me to some guide about how to
make such live system?
Thanks in advance
matthias
