In addition to these steps, you will need, for the time + being, to copy the kernel image to the Linux partition and boot + from it. This annoyance is being worked on and should disappear + very soon. + + After the installation is complete, you should add an OpenBSD + entry to the boot menu to be able to boot OpenBSD more easily. + + The boot menu contents are found in /boot/boot.cfg on the Linux + partition. To add an OpenBSD entry, simply add a new entry in the + file, such as: + + title OpenBSD + kernel /dev/fs/ext2@wd0/boot/bsd + args "" + + In the example above, /dev/fs/ext2@wd0/boot/bsd is the PMON path + to the kernel image. + + You may make OpenBSD the default option by changing the ``default'' + line near the top of the file. The value on this line is the index + of the default entry, starting at zero. So if you added the OpenBSD + entry as the fourth entry in the file, it would become the default + choice with: + + default 3 + + The timeout until the default choice is selected, in seconds, can be + modified on the ``timeout'' line. + +OpenBSDCongratulations |
