I tried installing OpenBSD 7.8 through a USB flash drive.
After going through some of the installation steps I get this:
Available disks are: sd0.
Which disk is the root disk? ('?' for details) [sd0] ?
sd0: USB, SanDisk 3.2Gen1, 1.00 serial.078155918107a72d2415 (57.3G)
My HDD drive is not showing, but I installed Guix on it and it works.
I've found people fixed similar problems by disabling RAID in their BIOS,
but I am on Libreboot and changing BIOS settings requires reflashing.
There isn't even any setting like that:
$ lbmk/src/coreboot/default/util/nvramtool/nvramtool -C
seabios_t440plibremrc_12mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb.rom -a
boot_option = Fallback
reboot_counter = 0x0
debug_level = Debug
nmi = Enable
power_on_after_fail = Disable
first_battery = Primary
iommu = Enable
wlan = Enable
trackpoint = Enable
fn_ctrl_swap = Disable
sticky_fn = Disable
usb_always_on = Disable
backlight = Keyboard
f1_to_f12_as_primary = Enable
enable_dual_graphics = Disable
volume = 0x3
Here's the dmesg:
