mercutio: sure did :D
woudl it be possible to get ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/i386/install51.iso attached to my vps?
currently it has a amd64 iso
also - what vnc client do you guys use?
You could just download the bsd.rd.
CaZe: normally .. but my system isn't really in a good state right now :P
Oh, well then just install whatever's attached to your VPS right now, just enough to get the bootloader installed.
Usually just past the fdisk point of the install.
yeah.. also i forgot to disable mpbios .. so that might be borking me a bit
For the installer?
first boot after installing
Well you can do that from the UKC.
yep
Of the bootloader.
Do you have a working bootloader?
yeah, it's booting with mpbios disabled now.. will see if that makes it work
yep
was gettin the em watchdog time outs
CaZe: thanks for reminding about the mpbios thing :D
( your fdisk msg somehow made me think of it :P )
man i love openbsd
mercutio: o'rly? nice
up_the_irons: it's on openbsd-dev or something... it's not integrated in -current yet even
but openbsd's disk performance under kvm has always been kind of lousy
Whats that about not running pure (ie on a Linux host)
pure?
i've been playing with netbsd
zsh/2 165 [127] # man -k amd
apropos: Missing apropos database. Please run makemandb to create it.

<root@netbsd:/etc>
zsh/2 166 [1] # makemandb
zsh: command not found: makemandb
still not sure how to get it to work with nfs from solaris with automount magic
nfs v4 appears to just work
but netbsd doesn't seem to do nfs v4
