I managed to install OpenBSD on Dell Wyse 3040.
I chose gpt (not mbr).
I edited the automatic partition scheme created by the installer
because the eMMC is only 8Gb.
Do not delete sd0i when resizing.
Disklabel is available below in this email.
After the installation of the components, ->before<- making all devices
nodes:
# !
# mkdir /mnt/boot
# mount /dev/sd0i /mnt/boot
# rm /mnt/boot/EFI <-- it is a file, a directory is expected instead
# mkdir /mnt/boot/EFI
# mkdir /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT
# umount /mnt/boot
# exit
Go ahead making device nodes
The system booted, but I saw that it stopped unexpectedly after
some time (hours or minutes) without any apparent reason.
dmesg said 'acpicpu0 ... bad value ...'
(Unfortunately I don't have a copy of this dmesg).
So, I added these lines in /etc/bsd.re-config, to disable ACPI drivers at
boot:
disable acpi
disable acpitz
disable acpitz*
disable acpicpu
disable acpicpu*
disable acpibat
disable acpibat*
disable acpipwrres
disable acpipwrres*
disable acpiprt*
(Some lines are repeated with * because I don't know the exact syntax).
# echo "boot" > /etc/boot.conf
(I don't know why, but /bsd doesn't start after the default 5 sec timeout)
and rebooted.
It seems that now I don't have any unexpected stop.
I'm not skilled enough to go further in the investigation, hopefully
someone more skilled than me will go on deeper and discover
the exact issue causing the unexpected stops.
