After quite a few testings of various OSes, the disk is now blanked. Until I get a new serial console, I'd like to try OpenBSD 4.4 on that disk. I couldn't find the procedure to manually install OpenBSD on it. I'm not talking about the disklabel/fdisk/newfs/tar part :) I can probably manage that one. I'm more concerned about making the installation bootable. Is the INSTALLBOOT(8) command enough to prepare the disk to boot the system ? Let's say I boot OpenBSD/i386 on my laptop. Prepare and untar /landisk binaries onto /mnt ; the disk being pluggued via an IDE/USB adapter and recognised as /dev/sd0. Would the following commands make the disk bootable ? # cp -p /mnt/usr/mdec/boot /mnt/boot # /usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /mnt/usr/mdec/biosboot sd0 TIA, Jo I dunno, never tried to blindly install on a Plextor, I got the serial console working first. diana
