OpenBSD / Problem With Openbsd Port
« on: August 26, 2005, 12:52:19 am »
Hello Barryg,
I'm running the 3.7 Release on a new C3000.
Was thinking more of like sticking in a CF card and wiping the zaurus clean. Then installing only OpenBSD on it (no linux partition). Because right now Linux is acting as a "glorified bootloader" for OpenBSD.
When I'm in OpenBSD it works great. The problem is everytime I cold boot the machine I have to hold down D+B sequence to get into single user mode and then from there launch ./zboot. The reason for this is because the jffs2 filesystem won't let me modify rc.rofilesys(which should fix my problem). If I don't press the D+B sequence my zaurus just hangs. I've had this problem since 3.7 was released. Thats why I asked if anytime in the future will there be an install method that allows you to delete all linux partions and just dedicate the whole harddrive to OpenBSD. I can't get the dmesg because umass isn't working / implemented.
Thanks for responding,
Sam

Meaning, an install OpenBSD on a ext{2,3}fs and/or jffs2 partition?
Nope. All OpenBSD installs(on all it's platforms) use ffs and the
partition has to be marked OpenBSD A6.

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the OpenBSD install. I've installed it successfully but have to manually go and press D+B and go into single user mode to get it to run (via zboot) it. I believe the cause of this is the rc.rofilesys. Unfortunately, I can' change / remove / copy the file because I get the error "no space left on device". I've been googling and found that its some sort of bug in the jffs filesystem that occurs when it gets full. Was just giving it one more last shot here because I think I'm stuck.
Also, does anyone know if there will be an option in the upcoming releases that allows you to install OpenBSD with having the linux partitions?
Thanks,
Sam
