OpenBSD 4.7. Install to USB-flash

[Lexus45]

Hi all

I'm not very new to OpenBSD, but this is my 1st installation to the USB-flash.

As I understood from the FAQ (openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#noflopcd), we have to do the installation for 2 times. The 3rd marker in the list in this FAQ says:

Prepare the device on another computer as described in FAQ 14 (openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#flashmemLive). Boot from it, but chose the bsd.rd kernel, then install as normal

And in that FAQ 14 (openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#flashmemLive) there's also an install-to-the-USB-process described.

So, I've done everything accroding to the FAQ, but all in vain. (1. prepared the USB. 2.Booted from it using bsd.rd and commited a normal installation)
When the system starts booting from the USB (after the '2nd installation'), then it reboots.

I cannot understand why it's so and what I'm doing wrong

Regards,
Lexus45

If your are using the i386 platform some one has kindly made a number of flash images

Thank you, friend, but I'm still interested what's the problem with my installation

The idea is nice, but looks like 'third-party'. I'm interested in creating a Live-USB myself, according to the instructions from the official site.

By the way, I'm not that kind of men who don't read the FAQs and mans but immediately start to ask questions... I read the documentation for several times, before starting to ask for help.

[Lexus45]

my architecture is i386,
I have an Intel D201GLY2 mini-ITX board

Some more information may be needed to sort out your problem.

Possible problems
1) Malformed boot sector on the target hard drive
2) Did install go to the hard drive or the usb drive?
3) Problem building the usb drive

The dmesg is a good place to start and if you can record it and post it here all the better. OpenBSD FAQ on saving the dmesg
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#getdmesg

The usb images are not officially supported but the author does maintain several OpenBSD packages.Trying one of the downloaded image would assess the third possibility.

You are making the process more complicated than it actually is, so let's start over.

• If I were to install OpenBSD onto the hard drive of a desktop system, I would boot the install media, & answer a number of questions about:
  • terminal type.
  • system name.
  • network connections.
  • system password.
  • ntp.
  • X.
  • default console.
  • intended timezone.
  • target disk.
• Once the disk is identified, fdisk(8) is executed followed by disklabel(8).

Installing to USB is no different. Instead of specifying the hard drive installed on the system, specify the device node of the USB drive. This means that the USB drive has to be plugged in before booting the install media.

Yes, Section 14.17.3 states that the USB drive has to be "mounted":

Creating such a "live OpenBSD drive" is simple.

• Mount your USB drive to the machine you are installing from.
• Boot your favorite OpenBSD install media.
• Install as normal, being careful to select your flash drive as the install target.
• Boot from your newly created USB device.

When the install script prompts you with the following question (Section 4.5.3):

Available disks are: wd0, sd0.
Which one is the root disk? (or 'done') [wd0]

Specify the device node of the USB drive, & continue installation. Given the information above, "wd0" is an IDE drive & "sd0" is most likely the USB drive. USB drives are mounted using the SCSI subsystem, so all USB devices will be mounted as "sdX" where "X" is some numerical value. If you have other SCSI or SATA drives in the system, the device node of the USB drive may not be "sd0". It may be "sd1" or "sd2", etc.. You will simply have to shell out of the install script & look at the dmesg(8) output to determine which device is which.

Once the installation has concluded, reboot. You will need to go into the BIOS setting & ensure that booting continues from the USB drive if you want to boot next into OpenBSD residing on the USB drive. This is possible with most newer motherboards. This may not be an option with older motherboards. You will simply have to look at what settings your BIOS provides in order to figure out whether you can boot from USB devices.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of hype about "live" media especially USB devices. USB drives are simply storage which are attached to the system through a different path than IDE, SATA, or SCSI. Section 14.17.3 simply indicates that the install script is flexible enough to target disks other than whatever is installed as the system's primary storage.

This is all that is required to install OpenBSD onto a USB drive.

I'm not sure if I can save the dmesg output, because the system reboots rather quickly

ocicat, thanks, but yes - I've read all this from the official FAQ all these instructions about choosing the right node, like sd0 and so on and so forth...

If it's importnat, I did it this way:

1. plugged in my 512 mb Kingston DataTravel
2. switched on my PC. By the way, it has not any HDD drives, only USB-flash
3. installed the system from CD to my USB-flash [sd0]
4. removed the CD, rebooted. I also played with BIOS.

So, the booting started from the USB, but after some dmesg lines my PC rebooted.
I could boot well only with bsd.rd but you understand that this is not actually what I want to have, as it's functionality is not so full as the 'real system' has :-)

Also some notes:

• 512 mb usb-flash
• a / 50 mb
• e /usr 370 mb
• f /var all left space
• 'bsd', 'bsd.rd', 'base' & 'etc' sets installed (also tried without bsd.rd)

===========================================
I think the problem is in my DDR-II module.
When I bought it yesterday from my friend, he told that the memory can work not well.

I just connected the HDD with OBSD installed onto it (and removed USB flash), and the same situation - the PC reboots.

I'll change the ddr-II module, I hope it will help me

Before installing OpenBSD on the USB drive,

• format it as type 0B (Win95 FAT32)
• boot the install media (bsd.rd)
• mount the USB drive as a DOS device
• copy dmesg(8) output to the USB drive. Be sure that this output contains the on-the-fly message about mounting the USB drive.
• umount the USB drive
• boot whatever operating system is typically used
• copy-&-paste the entire dmesg(8) output into the response to this message.

Yes, this dmesg(8) output will be for bsd.rd (not bsd.sp or bsd.mp...), but within it will be the kernel's recognition of the USB drive. This may give an idea as to whether it is supported or not.

[Lexus45]

This is my dmesg
(I booted from CD - bsd.rd, plugged in USB-flash with FAT32, mounted it and copied the dmesg output)

PS: and yes.. I think the problem is in my mini-ITX motherboard, because the system is not working well (it restarts on and on...) not only when using USB-boot, but also after connecting a HDD with already well-installed OBSD 4.7 (it worked fine with another motherboard & CPU, not mini-ITX).

The reason shouldn't also be in memory, because yesterday I ran memtest for 5+ hours (from Xubuntu live-CD) and everything was fine.

PS2: just now I tried with NetBSD 5.0.2 (the latest release) and the PC also restarted. On the other hand, Xubuntu 7.10 Live-CD (not new version) started well on my hardware. SLAX Linux also started well yesterday, from a USB-stick.

So, I consider to think that Intel D201GLY2 is not supported yet well enough by Open- and NetBSD (I haven't tried Free-).

That's a pity, but not a real problem. I want to set up a small home server with hosting a tiny website, smtp/pop3 daemons, OpenVPN running on it and also doing NAT for my other home PCs. If *BSD don't support this little motherboard, I'll use SLAX.

You may not have run memtest long enough. We have seen cases here where memory tests ran well for the first 24 - 30 hours before failing.

As for the dmesg(8) output, the following may appear ominous:

ioapic0: misconfigured as apic 0, remapped to apid 4

...but I see the same in the dmesg(8) on my Thinkpad (which runs OpenBSD well...). Perhaps the output from the bsd.sp or bsd.mp kernels might have indicated more, but unexpected reboots prevented this from happening.

It may be worth doing more memory testing, but memtest must run continuously without interruption. Leaving it for a day may be in order especially if the memory can be replaced.

[BSDfan666]

That ioapic(4) message is quite normal and safe, and most likely not the cause of this issue, it could be faulty memory.. but a system that reboots sporadically would seem to indicate hardware failure or perhaps a dusty CPU heatsink?

I forgot to mention that the day before yesterday I changed the memory module , but the system still rebooted...

I ran memtest with this 'new' memory, only with it, but it seems not very true to life that each memory module which's plugged into this motherboard appears to be faulty.

I think the reason is this mini-ITX Intel D201GLY2 motherboard (I mean hardware compatability, not it's 'health' in general, because as I've already said, Slax Linux worked fine from the USB-stick).
Has anybody had experience with OpenBSD running on this motherboard?

I googled and as I saw that people had problems while trying to install OpenBSD on this hardware.

no, it's impossible - the motherboard is absolutely new, it was bought several days ago in the copmuter shop with a good reputation and right after byuing I started to play with it

One more note: my board is Intel D201GLY2A (but it's not too impotant, as D201GLY2 and D201GLY2A are based on the same chipset SiS 662)

[Lexus45]

One guy from #netbsd channel at Freenode IRC-server gave an advice to publish the Linux dmesg output.

So, that's it

Hi Lexus,

You might be interested in testing this diff. This could solve issues like CDROM lockup.

[daemonfowl]

hi everynerd !

I have already installed openbsd 5.0 on an 8g flash .. the process was very easy , ffs (not msdos) and swap double size of ram (4g , in my case )
result : good speed ,, almost no difference from wd0 install ..
of course a flash is fragile and that is why some would advocate using non-journaling .. ext2 or msdos
I treat the installed OS as though it be live so most tasks read-only ..
well

hardware > acer aspire 5610 , 2g ram , 8g flash , ........

I also once installed netbsd 5.1 but prob with acpi amd smp so I would have to disable both ,, choice 4 ..

ps . some problems may be purely physical ,, bad cluster .. bad magic number here or there if not troublesome may become so later as you start writing on fragile poor little flash .. it happened once .. so I avoid too much writing/formatting ..
