Re: PXE auto_install

[ML mail]

Thanks for the hack, I guess I will wait for this or a similar solution being 
implemented into the installer, which hopefully will happen.

This would allow to get customized install.md where one can define
md_prep_fdisk() and/or md_prep_disklabel() functions.

PXE auto_install

[ML mail]

Hi,

The new OpenBSD auto_install with PXE works like a charm and just have 2 
questions regarding the install.conf file I did not manage to find out yet:

1) how can I install the bsd.mp instead of the standard bsd image?
2) how can I custom partition my disk (I would like 1 partition for root and 
one for swap) ?

Regards
ML

bsd.mp should be copied and used by default on systems with 1 CPU.
There is no way I know of to force bsd.mp to be used on uniprocessor
systems, although it can be copied to the target system.

 2) how can I custom partition my disk (I would like 1 partition for root and 
 one for swap) ?

At the moment you can't.
