Hi, so, this question sprung from the previous email however it's a big one and so deserves to be addressed separately:
If a machine's BIOS does not support booting from a particular boot medium where OpenBSD is installed, e.g. my BIOS does maybe not supporting booting from PCIe NVME SSD:s, but it does support booting from USB memory sticks. For such situations, how can I create an OpenBSD USB stick boot disk, that continues the OpenBSD boot process for me but from the PCIe NVME SSD-stored crypto softraid? This could be done either by * The OpenBSD kernel being stored on the USB stick, loading from it, and then using the PCIe NVME SSD as both root disk, swap disk, and dump disk, or, * The OpenBSD boot loader which is stored on the USB memory stick, would load the OpenBSD kernel from the PCIe NVME SSD. This should be a fundamental and trivial usecase to OpenBSD, however, last time I tried (then with adding a "boot" command to boot.conf per http://man.openbsd.org/boot.conf ), I think it not worked out of the box. Please let me know how to do this. Thanks! Tinker
