Hi there! I need help / advice with a fresh install onto a Thinkpad T450s which I recently bought on eBay.
The system starts with UEFI enabled and was running fine with a rather small SSD without FDE. dmesg from some recent posts may be found. I followed the steps as given in the FAQ (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraid) with a new, larger SSD and the key disk both initialized with 'fdisk -iy -g -b 960 sd0' (and '... sd2' for the key disk). On both disks I created a 'a'-partion with type RAID as zero'd the first blocks. softraid is activated with 'bioctl -c C -k sd2a -l sd0a softraid0'. The installation was without noticable deviation to a non-FDE installation. The layout is identical to an other FDE-secured laptop which starts with BIOS: sd0a / sd0b swap sd0d /tmp sd0e /var sd0f /usr sd0g /usr/local sd0h /home (As this is a 1TB-SSD each partition has lots of capacity...) Yet after rebooting the first time I get the following: probing: pc0 mem[352K 204K 3256M 4832M] disk: hd0 hd1 sr0* >> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOTS64 3.40 open(hd0a:/etc/boot.con f): Invalid argument boot> cannot open hd0a:/etc/random.seed: Invalid argument booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: Invalid argument failed(22). will try /bsd boot> cannot open hd0a:/etc/random.seed: Invalid argument booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: Invalid argument failed(22). will try /bsd Turning timeout off. boot> At this point I am lost. Tried to google for any information that makes sense but only found very old posts (from 2011 and older) which didn't provide hints on how to proceed. Anybody with a clue? TIA. Best, STEFAN
