Hi Alexander,>so yesterday I decided to try out Dragonfly BSD. So I booted
OpenBSD 6.8-beta on my trusty Lenovo Thinkpad X220 and promptly >downloaded the
5.8.1 release memstick image. I then used dd(1) to copy it to /dev/rsd1c and
rebooted. I rejoiced that the image booted but >was dismayed that it asked me
to specify the root fs. Choices of da0 da0s4 and da8 were displayed. By
subsequent use of "lsdev -v" at the >boot prompt I determined that "da8"
probably was the correct choice, with da0s4 being the OpenBSD partition, which
I wanted to leave alone>>Use of "ufs:da8", "hammer2:da8", "ffs:da8" all gave an
error reading sector 0 of the device.>I thought that the pen drive might be
defective and went to town to buy another one. That didn't help. Neither>did
using the current snapshot help.>>I'm now at loss what to do. I like challenges
and simply using the working OpenBSD installation won't do.>>I would be
grateful for any help, or pointers to any dics that I can RTFM. TIA.I also have
a trusty X220: builtin USB doesn't work with DragonFly. Otherwise it works
great with DragonFly.Netbooting DragonFly works fine.The DragonFly install
media (memstick) contains a netboot/install option.You just need to boot the
install media on another pc connected to your X220 with an ethernet cable.Then
select netboot/install on other pc and netboot your X220 (choosing PXE in
BIOS).I didn't yet open a bug on this issue, you might be faster doing it.
