Unofficial OpenBSD 4.6 USB installer on LiveUSB-OpenBSD page!
Dear all, My friend wanted it. I wanted it too just for fun. So I did it. Please remember, it is 100% unofficial. This project is not officially or unofficially endorsed by OpenBSD in any way. So use it at your own risk! That said, I am quite certain that many of you will benefit in a big way from a USB installer for OpenBSD 4.6 instead of a DVD/CD install method. http://liveusb-openbsd.sf.net and direct download link here: https://sf.net/projects/liveusb-openbsd/files/usb-inst46.bin/download It is a lot of fun I tell you. I recently tested it and it worked like a charm. I have tried to make the installer as official as I can. I played no tricks, it is just the CD/DVD installer in the USB stick. ;) As to how I did this, that is an altogether different matter. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com

No you got it wrong. You are supposed to say install from disk (instead of install from cd0) Already mounted? [no] (Press enter) And the sets will all show up. Try again. All sets are there in the USB stick but you have to follow a slightly different procedure. -Girish On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 8:10 PM, Brad Tilley misc@openbsd.org wrote: On Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:34 +0530, Girish Venkatachalam girishvenkatacha...@gmail.com wrote: I played no tricks, it is just the CD/DVD installer in the USB stick. ;) I normally just install -current or -release to a USB stick and then use that (booting from bsd.rd on the USB stick). Granted, the sets have to install over the network, but it works well. Brad -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com
