I am attempting to install openbsd on a maestro evolve iii notebook.
I am using the install70.img from
https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/ written to a usb
drive.
Installation prompts with responses as follows:
boot> (I let this time out)
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell? I
Choose your keyboard layout ('?' or 'L' for list) [default]
System hostname? (short form, e.g. 'foo') whatever
Available network interfaces are: vlan0
Which network interface do you wish to configure? (or 'done') [vlan0] done
DNS domain name? (e.g. 'example.com') [my.domain] bogus.invalid
DNS nameservers? (IP address list or 'none') [none]
Password for root account? (will not echo)
Password for root account? (again)
Start sshd(8) by default? [yes] no
Do you want the X Window System to be started by xenodm(1)? [no]
Setup a user? (enter a lower-case loginname, or 'no') [no]
Available disks are: sd0
Which disk is the root disk? ('?' for details) [sd0]
Use (W)hole disk MBR, whole disk (G)pt, (O)penBSD area or (E)dit? [OpenBSD] G
Use (A)uto layout, (E)dit auto layout, or create (C)ustom layout? [a]
Location of sets? (disk http nfs or 'done') [http]
So here's my problem:
I was expecting that since I was using install70.img that I would have
an option to install the sets from the usb drive. But I do not see
that option listed here. And, dropping into shell, I do not see
anything that looks like a device file for the usb drive, to mount on
mnt2
Obviously, I am doing something wrong. But, what?
I am not currently prepared to bring up wifi on this machine, to
install the sets from the network. Should that be my only recourse
here?
I opt to use gpt rather than mbr, because this machine is an efi
machine, and I am under the impression that efi wants gpt. I think
this is the right choice, though if I am wrong about that, I would be
interested in hearing the reasoning. But, in any event, it's probably
not the source of this issue.
How should I access the sets which are supposed to be on the install media here?
Thanks,
