iSCSI boot on OpenBSD
Hi all,
I am trying to find some info to boot an openbsd from a SAN (iSCSI). Is it
possible with the latest openbsd release?
Thanks.

No. - Robert It would be possible with a RAM disk if OpenBSD had something like pivot_root or switch_root for Linux, but AFAIK no such capability exists. You could do PXE boot and mount NFS shares for root - this process is well documented in the FAQ.

Many thanks to all for your help.
