+ <h1>How to install OpenBSD on a libreboot system</h1>
+ <p>
+ This section relates to preparing, booting and installing a
+ OpenBSD distribution on your libreboot system, using nothing more than a USB flash drive (and <i>dd</i>). They've only been tested on a Lenovo ThinkPad x200.

+ </div>
+
+ <div id="prepare" class="section">
+
+ <h2>Prepare the USB drive (in OpenBSD)</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Connect the USB drive. Check dmesg:<br/>
+ <b>$ dmesg | tail</b><br/>
+
+ Check to confirm which drive it is, for example, if you think its sd3:<br/>
+ <b>$ disklabel sd3</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Check that it wasn't automatically mounted. If it was, unmount it. For example:<br/>
+ <b>$ doas umount /dev/sd3i</b><br/>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ dmesg told you what device it is. Overwrite the drive, writing the OpenBSD installer to it with dd. For example:<br/>
+ <b>$ doas dd if=install60.fs of=/dev/rsdXc bs=1M; sync</b><br/>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ You should now be able to boot the installer from your USB drive. Continue reading, for
+ information about how to do that.

+ <h2>Configuring Grub</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ If you don't want to drop to the GRUB command line and type in a command to boot OpenBSD every time, you can create a GRUB configuration that's aware of your OpenBSD installation and that will automatically be used by libreboot.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ On your OpenBSD root partition, create the <b>/grub</b> directory and add the file <b>libreboot_grub.cfg</b> to it. Inside the <b>libreboot_grub.cfg</b> add these lines:
+ <p><b>
+ default=0
+ timeout=3
+ menuentry "OpenBSD" {<br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;kopenbsd -r sd0a (ahci0,openbsd1)/bsd<br>
+ }<br>
+ </b></p>
+ <p>The next time you boot, you'll see the old Grub menu for a few seconds, then you'll see the a new menu with only OpenBSD on the list. After 3 seconds OpenBSD will boot, or you can hit enter to boot.

+
+ <h1>Troubleshooting</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ Most of these issues occur when using libreboot with coreboot's 'text mode' instead of the coreboot framebuffer.
+ This mode is useful for booting payloads like memtest86+ which expect text-mode, but for OpenBSD distributions
+ it can be problematic when they are trying to switch to a framebuffer because it doesn't exist.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ In most cases, you should use the vesafb ROM images. Example filename: libreboot_ukdvorak_vesafb.rom.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2>won't boot...something about file not found</h2>
+ <p>
+ You device names (i.e. usb0, usb1, sd0, sd1, wd0, ahci0, hd0, etc) and numbers may differ. Use TAB completion.
