Since you probably will need the install sets as well, I have
posted a compressed filesystem image of size 199864838 bytes at
http://www.erlang.org/~raimo/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/hd.fs.gz
It contains the same as install42.iso snapshot Jan 29.
will try asap, thanks a lot.
otherwise i'll ask the Andre chap with the usb install to
post an image :)))
i guess it wouldnt be really hard to provide these images
along with the cd/floppy boot images, what's the official
stance on this by the devs?
as the subnotebook business gona explode after the eee's
success this will be a really handy thing to do i think...
I made some experiments booting the eee with following results:
- installing OpenBSD to USB-stick on an other machine and then boot ist
on the eee works. Release 4.2 has some problems with ethernet,
-current might be better.
- Using flashboot and dding Generic-rd.image from http://tilde.se to an
USB-stick works but init-script inside this kernel has some problem
with fsck. But this is an easy method for you to get a bootable
USB-stick with only Linux running on the eee.
- The eee CAN boot via PXE if you enable this option in the bios. This
might be the most easy solution if you have the PXE-infrastructure.
I will try a current snapshot and see how well this works in the next
days. So in principle you don't need special images somewhere for
download, it is all there already.
