Thank you, Igor.

I hope your installation goes smoothly. As I recall, you use a serial console; don't forget to set that up during the installation. If you forget, you will not have a console, and will need to either access the system via a network connection using ssh(1), or mount that CF card in another OpenBSD system to be able to write an /etc/boot.conf file.

FAQ 6 will be your best friend for setting up your network configuration:
  • Configuring OpenBSD to act as a gateway/router is described in FAQ 6.2.7
  • Setting up an dhcpd(8) server is described in FAQ 6.4.2.
  • Setting up a serial connection to an ISP with PPP is described in FAQ 6.5.
In addition, as described in wlm2's earlier thread on the Netstick, you will want to review the man pages for umsm(4), ucom(4), and cu(1) or tip(1).

When you have specific questions, please ask.
