Multiboot OpenBSD and Windows 10
Hi all,
I just purchased a new computer for work purposes with two hard drives, one with windows 10 pre loaded and second one I want to use to install OpenBSD on it. I must use windows 10 to run some engineering applications and I am an experienced OpenBSD user. I have experience in dual systems (linux) using GRUB and I used LILO many years ago. I realized there is no GRUB package for OpenBSD 64 bit, with your experience, what's the easiest and best boot manager to have a dual boot system OpenBSD and Windows 10? Thanks, |

I've seen a number of favorable reports using rEFInd
rERInd Homepage There is also a stand-alone install option for grub2 man grub-mkstandalone The OpenBSD FAQ looks to lean toward rEFInd for Mac's - not sure about Win10. OpenBSD FAQ multibooting Not sure about bcdedit - the documentation is Win8 but the EasyBCD gui site says Win10/EFI support. EasyBCD Website I use grub2/linux or EFI/Bios and have no personal experience with the other options. Just based on my reading, I would tend to lean towards rEFInd. It seems to be widely used, has extensive documentation and Rod Smith has an internet trail of responding to problems/questions. |

I just select which drive to boot with via the bios, but neither drive have windows, the default drive, that boots normally is OpenBsd , but if I want to boot with the other, the "esp" key, gives me the boot selection, and I select the 2nd drive. The PC is a HP tower:
Code:
OS: OpenBSD 6.5 amd64 Host: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT PC

Finally I used EasyBCD. It works great and boots OpenBSD by default successfully
