Check dmesg:\ +**\$ dmesg**\ +Check lsblk to confirm which drive it is:\ +**\$ lsblk** + +Check that it wasn\'t automatically mounted. If it was, unmount it. For +example:\ +**\$ sudo umount /dev/sdX\***\ +**\# umount /dev/sdX\*** + +dmesg told you what device it is. Overwrite the drive, writing your +distro ISO to it with dd.

If you get it working, +please let us know. + +If booting in text mode (framebuffer mode might also work), it might be +possible to chainload the OpenBSD or LibertyBSD bootloader from the MBR +section on the internal storage device. This way, it would be possible +to boot with an encrypted OpenBSD or LibertyBSD installation. Please let +us know (contact details are on the libreboot homepage) if you get it +working this way. + +Alternatively, it would be good to port OpenBSD either natively as a +coreboot payload, or port it to libpayload (payload library in coreboot; +it has a basic C library and a few functions for certain operations e.g. +text/bitmap). **This would be ideal, because then it would be possible +to boot a truly fully encrypted OpenBSD or LibertyBSD installation, by +putting everything in the flash chip.** + +Alternatively, modifying GRUB to support booting fully encrypted OpenBSD +installations would be possible, but probably not feasible; it\'s an +alien codebase to the OpenBSD project, not tightly integrated and the +OpenBSD bootloader already works. + +[Back to top of page](#pagetop). + +</div> + +<div id="booting" class="section"> + +Booting +------- + +Press C in GRUB to access the command line: + +grub> **kopenbsd -r sd0a (ahci0,openbsd1)/bsd**\ +grub> **boot** + +OpenBSD will start booting.
