In particular, you should read the [[https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html|Installation Guide]]%0a%0a# [[https://man.openbsd.org/vmm|VMM(4)]] is a hypervisor, which allows us to run multiple virtual machines inside a single physical server (a dedicated server). Your virtual machine is a guest which lives inside the host. You will first need to connect to the host, which runs the hypervisor. For IRCNow, this host is coconut.ircnow.org.%0a  # For Linux/Mac, open up a terminal and run @@$ ssh username@coconut.ircnow.org@@ -- note that the hostname is coconut.ircnow.org and '''not''' username.coconut.ircnow.org.%0a  # For Windows, you can use [[Shell/ShellPutty|PuTTY]]. For hostname, put @@username@coconut.ircnow.org@@ -- note that the hostname is coconut.ircnow.org and '''not''' username.coconut.ircnow.org.%0a# '''NOTE''': The host is '''not''' your personal VM. Your personal VM is a guest inside the host, and will have the name username.coconut.ircnow.org, not coconut.ircnow.org. The guest lives inside the host, so in order to create the guest, you must first log in to the host.%0a# Once inside the host (coconut.ircnow.org), type @@vmctl console %3cVM name>@@ in order to open up the [[https://man.openbsd.org/cu|serial console]]. The serial console will allow you to see the virtual machine during bootup. Your VM name is most likely your username.\\%0aAttach:vmminstall-1.png%0a# At any time, if you want to escape the serial console, type @@~.@@ (tilde followed by a period) or @@~^d@@ (tilde followed by ctrl+d). '''Note''': ^d is ctrl+d. Sometimes, you may need to press enter a few times before the @@~.@@ or @@~^d@@ combination works. On some keyboards, you may need to type @@~~.@@ (two tildes followed by a period).%0a# You can safely ignore the error message @@Boot failed: not a bootable disk@@. By default, your virtual machine will boot from the OpenBSD ISO image when there is no operating system installed. After the OS is installed, your virtual machine will automatically boot from hard disk instead of ISO image.

In this case, you will want to type something immediately after you see the boot prompt to prevent the system from automatically booting. If the system automatically boots by accident, you will, you will want to restart the system. You can log in and then run @@$ doas shutdown -r now@@ to reboot.%0a# If you want to delete your existing virtual machine and start from scratch, exit the serial console by typing @@~.@@ or @@~^d@@.
