    OpenBSD/landisk:

    - -It is possible to install and run -OpenBSD/landisk -in GXemul. There is at the time of writing this no stable release -yet of OpenBSD/landisk, but there are snapshots available on the -OpenBSD ftp site. - -

    NOTE: This is still too -unstable to be considered really working! - -

    To install OpenBSD/landisk onto an emulated harddisk image, -follow these instructions: - -

    -

      -
    1. Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the root disk - that OpenBSD installs itself onto:
      -	dd if=/dev/zero of=obsd_landisk.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=900000
-
-
      -
    2. Download the entire landisk directory from the ftp server:
      -	wget -np -l 0 -r ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/landisk/
-	cp ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/landisk/bsd .
-	cp ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/landisk/bsd.rd .
-
-
      - (Replace ftp.se.openbsd.org with a server closer to you, for - increased download speed.) -

      -

    3. You now need to make an ISO image of the entire directory you downloaded. - (I recommend using mkisofs for that purpose. If you don't - already have mkisofs installed on your system, you need - to install it in order to do this.)
      -	mkisofs -allow-lowercase -o openbsd_landisk_snapshot.iso ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/
-	rm -rf ftp.se.openbsd.org      (this directory is not needed anymore)
-
-
      -
    4. Start the emulator using this command line:
      -	gxemul -x -Elandisk -d obsd_landisk.img -d d:openbsd_landisk_snapshot.iso bsd.rd
-
-
      - and proceed like you would do if you were installing OpenBSD - on a real landisk. The following hints are useful to get you - through the installation: -
        -
      • Terminal type = xterm -
      • root disk = wd0 (the disk to install onto) -
      • Use the entire disk for OpenBSD = yes -
      • Create one big root partition (a) and a small swap partition (b). c is the entire disk. -
      • Do not configure the network. -
      • Location of sets = disk -
      • Is the disk partition already mounted = no -
      • Disk containing the install media = wd1 -
      • Pathname to the sets = snapshot/landisk -
      -
    - -

    Once the install has finished, the following command should let you -boot from the disk image: - -

    -	gxemul -x -E landisk -d obsd_landisk.img bsd
-
