Hello all. I have a Sparc T2 server that I was able to install OpenBSD 6.5 onto, but wanted to install it on a RAID1 softraid instead. Unfortunately, I have not found enough conclusive information in searching the interwebs.
I followed https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraidDI and other than ignoring the "fdisk" commands which I didn't have, was able to get an sd4 softraid configured to cover two internal disks (each one big partition). An install to sd4 completed sucessfully, but when I reboot, trying to boot off of either of the disks the softraid spans yields: {0} ok boot disk3 Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@3 File and args: OpenBSD IEEE 1275 Bootblock 1.4 >> OpenBSD BOOT 1.12 ERROR: /iscsi-hba: No iscsi-network-bootpath property Trying bsd... open /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@3,0:a/etc/random.seed: Invalid argument open /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@3,0:a/bsd: Invalid argument Boot: I looked around a little more, and found http://brycv.com/blog/2012/openbsd-sparc64-and-root-on-softraid/ but that is quite old, and sounds like it's reflective of the time that even 386/amd64 installs recommended separate partitions for root and swap aside the RAID, which is not true currently. So, does anyone have a recent walkthrough of how to install OpenBSD 6 onto a sparc RAID1? Thanks much. - Chris
