| Hi all, I have PC with two OpenBSD 4.2 - bootable harddisks. Clearly I can boot from either of them by setting a boot sequence in BIOS or by typing "boot hdXa:/bsd" in the boot promt (X = 0 or 1). What I want is to specify a boot hdd without boot-time user intervention. Thus, imagine I run OpenBSD on hd0, I want to specify what hd1 shell be used as bootable on the next reboot. installboot(8) offers what I need, but it can't be used for cross- device installboots. If possible, I'd like to solve this without any dedicated bootloaders like grub. If you convince me that using bootloader is better alternative, I would not mind much. Note that run everything in VMware, so I am not afraid to screw-up things. Any advice is welcome. Andrei |
