i am trying to make this one work. but i dont know how the openbsd dd example translates into the linux one, there is no 'c' for all disk. if i do a # zcat image | dd of=/dev/sdd linux fdisk reports an invalid partition table. i tried to create an a6 bootable partition and then # zcat image | dd of=/dev/sdd1 but neither of these boot. the second one hangs, the first one gives a partition error... could someone please upload somewhere a basic install or just bsd.rd as an image already installed on the media? and the linux dd/fdisk dance around it? -f -- pi seconds is a nanocentury.
