1dnl $OpenBSD: prep,v 1.1 2013/09/04 20:00:26 patrick Exp $ 2Please be aware that OpenBSD support for this platform is far from 3complete. 4 5At the moment the only way to boot the OpenBSD install is to copy the 6miniroot for your board "miniroot-{am335x,beagle,panda}-{:--:}OSrev.fs" 7image to a sdcard. 8 9As a result you need another machine to plug the sdcard in. Any 10machine type will do, as long as it supports sdcard storage devices. 11Under OpenBSD, it will appear as a ``sd'' device, for example sd1. 12 13Use the dd(1) utility to copy the miniroot to the hard drive. 14The command would likely be, under OpenBSD: 15 dd if=miniroot-beagle-{:--:}OSrev.fs of=/dev/rsd1c 16 17When you have connected the BeagleBoard to you computer, a command such 18as "tip -115200 tty00" (assuming tty00 is your serial port device) should 19connect you to the board's console. 20 21Note: By default the BeagleBone Black will boot from the internal emmc. 22In order to make it boot from the micro sdcard, you will need to hold down 23the small button located by the sdcard slot while powering on the board. 24Once you have done this the board will boot from the sdcard as the default. 25
