hyperbola is thinking of a openbsd-based bootloader using octboot

this is openbsd's own kexec-like thing, for bootstrapping an openbsd kernel from another kernel. hyperbola wants to do something with it, similar to u-root and heads, but for openbsd. very cool stuff. i hope they go ahead with it

putting this here just as a reminder

they have this roadmap here, for switching their project to be based on openbsd instead of gnu+linux. see:

https://www.hyperbola.info/news/announcing-hyperbolabsd-roadmap/

Just a heads up, not sure if they are thinking of using octboot as their bootloader for their fork, otherwise, you are correct though.

And yes, I highly agree, it does sound cool. Best wishes on osboot release coming out soon, even if its beta. :)

Actually, you were right, one of the devs thought this wasn't the case...

But it appears that is a future plan.

Although, it won't be till much, much later...

Aka, after 4.0 oh HyperbolaBSD comes out, at least thats what I gathered from looking here:

My bad... sorry bout that.

Although, I am not sure when that is going to happen, due to this:

I'll have to check on when they think 1.0 will be out, let alone their version of coreboot will be out, etc...
