- <h1>How to install OpenBSD on a libreboot system</h1>
- <p>
- This section relates to preparing, booting and installing a
- OpenBSD distribution on your libreboot system, using nothing more than a USB flash drive (and <i>dd</i>). They've only been tested on a Lenovo ThinkPad x200.

- <div id="prepare" class="section">
-
- <h2>Prepare the USB drive (in OpenBSD)</h2>
- <p>
- Connect the USB drive. Check dmesg:<br/>
- <b>$ dmesg | tail</b><br/>
- Check to confirm which drive it is, for example, if you think its sd3:<br/>
- <b>$ disklabel sd3</b>
- </p>
- <p>
- Check that it wasn't automatically mounted. If it was, unmount it. For example:<br/>
- <b>$ doas umount /dev/sd3i</b><br/>
- </p>
- <p>
- dmesg told you what device it is. Overwrite the drive, writing the OpenBSD installer to it with dd. For example:<br/>
- <b>$ doas dd if=install60.fs of=/dev/rsdXc bs=1M; sync</b><br/>
- </p>
-
- <p>
- You should now be able to boot the installer from your USB drive. Continue reading, for
- information about how to do that.

- <div id="noencryption" class="section">
- <h2>Installing OpenBSD without full disk encryption</h2>
- <p>
- Press C in GRUB to access the command line:
- </p>
- <p>
- grub> <b>kopenbsd (usb0,openbsd1)/6.0/amd64/bsd.rd</b>
- </p>
- <p>
- It will start booting into the OpenBSD installer. Follow the normal process for installing OpenBSD.

- <h2>Installing OpenBSD with full disk encryption</h2>
- <p>
- Not working. You can modify the above procedure (installation w/o encryption) to install OpenBSD using full disk encryption, and it appears to work, except that its not yet clear how to actually <i>boot</i> an OpenBSD+FDE installation using libreboot+Grub2. If you get it working, please let us know.

- <h2>Booting</h2>
- <p>
- Press C in GRUB to access the command line:
- </p>
- <p>
- grub> <b>kopenbsd -r sd0a (ahci0,openbsd1)/bsd</b>
- </p>
- <p>
- OpenBSD will start booting. Yay!

- <div id="configuring_grub" class="section">
-
- <h2>Configuring Grub</h2>
- <p>
- If you don't want to drop to the GRUB command line and type in a command to boot OpenBSD every time, you can create a GRUB configuration that's aware of your OpenBSD installation and that will automatically be used by libreboot.
- </p>
- <p>
- On your OpenBSD root partition, create the <b>/grub</b> directory and add the file <b>libreboot_grub.cfg</b> to it. Inside the <b>libreboot_grub.cfg</b> add these lines:
- <p><b>
- default=0
- timeout=3
- menuentry "OpenBSD" {<br>
- kopenbsd -r sd0a (ahci0,openbsd1)/bsd<br>
- }<br>
- </b></p>
- <p>The next time you boot, you'll see the old Grub menu for a few seconds, then you'll see the a new menu with only OpenBSD on the list. After 3 seconds OpenBSD will boot, or you can hit enter to boot.

- <div id="troubleshooting" class="section">
-
- <h1>Troubleshooting</h1>
- <p>
- Most of these issues occur when using libreboot with coreboot's 'text mode' instead of the coreboot framebuffer.
- This mode is useful for booting payloads like memtest86+ which expect text-mode, but for OpenBSD distributions
- it can be problematic when they are trying to switch to a framebuffer because it doesn't exist.
- </p>
- <p>
- In most cases, you should use the vesafb ROM images. Example filename: libreboot_ukdvorak_vesafb.rom.
- </p>
- <h2>won't boot...something about file not found</h2>
- <p>
- You device names (i.e. usb0, usb1, sd0, sd1, wd0, ahci0, hd0, etc) and numbers may differ. Use TAB completion.
