one and so deserves to be addressed separately:
If a machine's BIOS does not support booting from a particular boot
medium where OpenBSD is installed, e.g. my BIOS does maybe not
supporting booting from PCIe NVME SSD:s, but it does support booting
from USB memory sticks.
For such situations, how can I create an OpenBSD USB stick boot disk,
that continues the OpenBSD boot process for me but from the PCIe NVME
SSD-stored crypto softraid?
This could be done either by
* The OpenBSD kernel being stored on the USB stick, loading from it,
and then using the PCIe NVME SSD as both root disk, swap disk, and
dump disk, or,
* The OpenBSD boot loader which is stored on the USB memory stick,
would load the OpenBSD kernel from the PCIe NVME SSD.
This should be a fundamental and trivial usecase to OpenBSD, however,
last time I tried (then with adding a "boot" command to boot.conf per
http://man.openbsd.org/boot.conf ), I think it not worked out of the
box.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks!
