Re: Dual booting - can't boot OpenBSD from Windows 10 bootloader
Thank you again for all your suggestions and answers. I finally made
it to work. I first shrunk windows partition to be below 256 GB. Then
as it says in this thread:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=138477729520448&w=2
I changed BOOTBIOS_MAXSEC in sys/arch/amd64/include/biosvar.h from ((1
<< 28) - 1) to ((1 << 29) - 1), and rebuilt the system follwoing
release(8), copied installboot binary to /usr/sbin overwriting the old
one and successfully installed biosboot. I can finally boot OpenBSD
directly from windows bootloader without using grub.

Re: Dual booting - can't boot OpenBSD from Windows 10 bootloader
Thank you all for your asnwers. I cannot use grub or lilo as some of you pointed out beaceuse grub is i386 only and lilo isn't even in ports, and I don't have linux installed. I don't want to use quemu, vmm/vmd or any virtualization if at all possible as that would degrade performance, that isn't that great to begin with on lowe power i5(U) especially using Windows and Xilinx. Unfortunately I think my model of Thinkpad doesn't have space for another drive as it's middle range L series not higher end T seris. Also I wouldn't be able tu justify that expense beacuse $80 or so is much for me especially considering the fact I just spend all my savings on this very laptop. 2016-09-23 21:56 GMT+02:00 Karel Gardas : > On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 9:50 PM, Fred wrote: >> >> Or run it all on OpenBSD and run Windows and Linux in qemu from ports. >> >> Works for me ;~) > > How is it looking with performance difference of such combo host > versus guest?

Re: Dual booting - can't boot OpenBSD from Windows 10 bootloader
I've been looking for a solution, and then stumbled on this:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=138477729520448&w=2
So it looks like OpenBSD's bootloader needs too be in first 128 GB of
the disk. As for dualbooting I want to use OpenBSD
but I'll sonn start college, and we have digital logic class in firs
semester, and I will be required to use Xilinx ISE on their
machines so I want to have it on my PC too. As far as I know Xilinx
ISE supports only Windows and Linux, and OpenBSD
6.0 no longer supports linux_compat, so that's why I went with dual booting.

Dual booting - can't boot OpenBSD from Windows 10 bootloader
I'm trying to dual boot windows 10 and OpenBSD 6.0 on Lenovo Thinkpad L560. I installed Windows 10 first then OpenBSD, copied pbr to windows (C:\openbsd.pbr) using: # dd if=/dev/rsd0a of=/mnt/openbsd.pbr bs=512 count=1 and run bcdedit as mentioned in FAQ. When i try to load OpenBSD it restarts, and black screen with a blinking cursor appears. When that happens I can't even reboot using CTRL+ALT+DEL, I must power down machine by pressing the power button. I can however boot into OpenBSD just fine using installation USB by runing: boot> boot sd1a:/bsd. I even tried using EasyBCD but the problem persists. # dmesg OpenBSD 6.0 (GENERIC.MP) #2319: Tue Jul 26 13:00:43 MDT 2016 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 8341897216 (7955MB) avail mem = 8084606976 (7710MB) mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.8 @ 0xd7c58000 (64 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version "N1HET49W (1.13 )" date 03/23/2016 bios0: LENOVO 20F1S00T00 acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP TCPA SSDT UEFI SSDT SSDT HPET LPIT APIC MCFG WDAT SSDT\ SSDT SSDT SSDT SSDT SSDT DBGP DBG2 SSDT BOOT BATB SLIC SSDT SSDT MSDM ASF!\ FPDT UEFI acpi0: wakeup devices PEGP(S4) PEG0(S4) PEGP(S4) PEG1(S4) PEGP(S4) PEG2(S4) \ GLAN(S4) XHC_(S3) XDCI(S4) HDAS(S4) PXSX(S4) RP01(S4) PXSX(S4) RP02(S4) PXSX(S4) RP03(S4) [...] acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 24 bits acpihpet0 at acpi0: 2399 Hz acpimadt0 at acpi0 addr 0xfee0: PC-AT compat cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2694.65 MHz cpu0:FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36, \ CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE,SSE3,PCLMUL,DTES64,MWAIT,DS-CPL,\ VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,FMA3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,PCID,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC,MOVBE,POPCNT,\ DEADLINE,AES,XSAVE,AVX,F16C,RDRAND,NXE,PAGE1GB,LONG,LAHF,ABM,3DNOWP,PERF,ITSC, \ FSGSBASE,SGX,BMI1,AVX2,SMEP,BMI2,ERMS,INVPCID,MPX,RDSEED,ADX,SMAP,CLFLUSHOPT, \ PT,SENSOR,ARAT cpu0: 256KB 64b/line 8-way L2 cache cpu0: smt 0, core 0, package 0 mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support, 10 var ranges, 88 fixed ranges cpu0: apic clock running at 24MHz cpu0: mwait min=64, max=64, C-substates=0.2.1.2.4.1.1.1, IBE cpu1 at mainbus0: apid 2 (application processor) cpu1: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2693.72 MHz cpu1:FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36, \ CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE,SSE3,PCLMUL,DTES64,MWAIT,DS-CPL,\ VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,FMA3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,PCID,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC,MOVBE,POPCNT, \ DEADLINE,AES,XSAVE,AVX,F16C,RDRAND,NXE,PAGE1GB,LONG,LAHF,ABM,3DNOWP,PERF,ITSC, \ FSGSBASE,SGX,BMI1,AVX2,SMEP,BMI2,ERMS,INVPCID,MPX,RDSEED,ADX,SMAP,CLFLUSHOPT, \ PT,SENSOR,ARAT cpu1: 256KB 64b/line 8-way L2 cache cpu1: smt 0, core 1, package 0 cpu2 at mainbus0: apid 1 (application processor) cpu2: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2693.72 MHz cpu2: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36, \ CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE,SSE3,PCLMUL,DTES64,MWAIT,DS-CPL,\ VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,FMA3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,PCID,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC,MOVBE,POPCNT, \ DEADLINE,AES,XSAVE,AVX,F16C,RDRAND,NXE,PAGE1GB,LONG,LAHF,ABM,3DNOWP,PERF,ITSC, \ FSGSBASE,SGX,BMI1,AVX2,SMEP,BMI2,ERMS,INVPCID,MPX,RDSEED,ADX,SMAP,CLFLUSHOPT, \ PT,SENSOR,ARAT cpu2: 256KB 64b/line 8-way L2 cache cpu2: smt 1, core 0, package 0 cpu3 at mainbus0: apid 3 (application processor) cpu3: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2693.73 MHz cpu3: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36, \ CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE,SSE3,PCLMUL,DTES64,MWAIT,DS-CPL,\ VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,FMA3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,PCID,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC,MOVBE,POPCNT, \ DEADLINE,AES,XSAVE,AVX,F16C,RDRAND,NXE,PAGE1GB,LONG,LAHF,ABM,3DNOWP,PERF,ITSC, \ FSGSBASE,SGX,BMI1,AVX2,SMEP,BMI2,ERMS,INVPCID,MPX,RDSEED,ADX,SMAP,CLFLUSHOPT, \ PT,SENSOR,ARAT cpu3: 256KB 64b/line 8-way L2 cache cpu3: smt 1, core 1, package 0 ioapic0 at mainbus0: apid 2 pa 0xfec0, version 20, 120 pins acpimcfg0 at acpi0 addr 0xf800, bus 0-63 acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpiprt1 at acpi0: bus -1 (PEG0) acpiprt2 at acpi0: bus -1 (PEG1) acpiprt3 at acpi0: bus -1 (PEG2) acpiprt4 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP01) acpiprt5 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP02) acpiprt6 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP03) acpiprt7 at acpi0: bus 2 (RP04) acpiprt8 at acpi0: bus 5 (RP05) acpiprt9 at acpi0: bus 6 (RP06) acpiprt10 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP07) acpiprt11 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP08) acpiprt12 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP09) acpiprt13 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP10) acpiprt14 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP11) acpiprt15 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP12) acpiprt16 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP13) acpiprt17 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP14) acpiprt18 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP15) acpiprt19 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP16) acpiprt20 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP17) acpiprt21 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP18) acpiprt22 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP19) acpiprt23 at acpi0: bus -1 (RP20) acpiec0 at acpi0 a
