+
+ <p>
+ If you downloaded your ISO on a GNU/Linux system,
+ here is how to create the bootable OpenBSD USB drive:
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Connect the USB drive. Check dmesg:<br/>
+ <b>$ dmesg</b><br/>
+
+ Check lsblk to confirm which drive it is:<br/>
+ <b>$ lsblk</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Check that it wasn't automatically mounted. If it was, unmount it. For example:<br/>
+ <b>$ sudo umount /dev/sdX*</b><br/>
+ <b># umount /dev/sdX*</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ dmesg told you what device it is. Overwrite the drive, writing your distro ISO to it with dd. For example:<br/>
+ <b>$ sudo dd if=install60.fs of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync</b><br/>
+ <b># dd if=install60.fs of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync</b>
</p>
+ <p>
+ You should now be able to boot the installer from your USB drive. Continue reading, for
+ information about how to do that.
