You can modify the above procedure (installation w/o encryption) to install OpenBSD using full disk encryption, and it appears to work, except that its not yet clear how to actually boot an OpenBSD+FDE installation using libreboot+Grub2. 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. +
