Trying to netboot openbsd with u-boot
I've created a menu system using u-boot on the beaglebone black.
So far I was able to script loading the openbsd kernel over the network and execute it. u-boot has a "bootargs" variable which is transfered to the kernel. It's evidently the way of setting "boot device" and "root device". But I can't find the appropriate documentation nor can I deduce it. I can specify booting from disk and that works. But I want to mount root over nfs. With bootargs not set it asks me for a boot device. I want to pass to the kernel that it should mount root over a nfs serverip and path I specify such as 192.168.1.2:/nfs/beaglebone/openbsd |

Hello, and welcome! INSTALL.armv7 says:
Code:
Please be aware that OpenBSD support for this platform is far from complete. At the moment the only way to boot the OpenBSD install is to copy the miniroot for your board "miniroot-{am335x,beagle,imx,panda,sunxi}-55.fs" image to an sdcard. Since what you wish to do is not currently supported, I recommend opening a discussion on the arm@ OpenBSD mailing list, where knowledge of the OS on the ARM architecture is far greater.
