It looks like the trick was to mount the mfs version of /dev on top of the regular /dev, the system did not like to boot with only a read-only /dev or with only a mount point for /dev
Currently the system successfully boots read only and SSHd accepts logins. Below is /etc/fstab for the adjustments I have made to an otherwise plain vanilla OpenBSD 4.2. Later, after Christmas or so, I'll look into adjusting the sizes and such. Have to clean up now for a few days... -Lars /dev/wd0a / ffs ro,noatime 1 1 /dev/wd0d /data ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2 swap /var mfs -P/var.base,-s16000,noexec,async,nosuid,nodev,noatime,rw 0 0 swap /tmp mfs noexec,async,nosuid,nodev,noatime,rw,-b4096,-i1024,-s21200,-m0 0 0 swap /dev mfs rw,-P/dev.orig,-b4096,-i1024,-s21200,-m0,nosuid 0 0 _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
