LiveUSB image with OpenBSD

LiveUSB image with OpenBSD - carry your OS on a memory stick

What is LiveUSB-OpenBSD?

It is trivial to a create a bootable USB stick with OpenBSD. I wanted tocreate one and realized that this will be of general use for anyone wholikes a UNIX USB memory stick that they can carry with them on akeychain.

If you wish to have LiveCD/LiveDVD instead, please refer to our other project on sourceforge!

This USB image shall not touch your hard disk in any way. All the operations are done in the USB stick and main memory. Nothing will be written to your MBR or boot loaders!

Obviously the USB image to install OpenBSD 4.7 in your machine willinstall to your hard disk! Also remember that these images ignore the size of the USB medium. If you install these 2GB images, you will lose the ability to use the remaining 6GB if your USB stick is of size 8GB.

Please make your choice, download and enjoy!

How to create your own LiveUSB with OpenBSD?

Really easy.Watch out. Everything is done with by Fabrice Bellard. Justinstall that package and blindly follow the instructions below.

# qemu-img create liveusb-miniX.bin 1000000 # qemu -hda liveusb-miniX.bin -cdrom install47.iso (Install OpenBSD into the file store and whatever packages you need but create only one partition wd0a) Now change the line in /etc/fstab /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1 to /dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1

That is it! You are ready to dd(1) now. See .

Creating a LiveCD is more work because you need a read only OS. No suchissue with writeable USB memory sticks.

This is an OpenBSD 4.7 install CD/DVD image on a USB stick. You caninstall OpenBSD 4.7 from a USB memory stick instead of an optical mediumlike CD/DVD. Have fun!

Remember to follow this process to install the sets from the USB stick.It is little different from installing from optical media. Only therelevant interactions are here. Follow your instinct and use your commonsense.

Let's install the sets! Location of sets? (cd disk ftp http or 'done') [cd] disk Is the partition already mounted? [no] Available disks are: sd0 wd0. Which one contains the install media? (or 'done') [sd0] Pathname to the sets? (or 'done') [4.7/i386] USB image ofUSB-OpenBSD-Installer image from .

This is the version for minimalists. Itstill is way too powerful! There is ONE package for uncompressing the installer p7zip. You can installwhichever package you need. OpenBSD base install comes with a fullyfunctional DNS server, HTTP server, web browser, command line downloadwith ftp(1) for HTTP and FTP with resume support and so on...

You can login as user live and passwordlive123The root password is openbsd1729.

This is the non Xwindow version for geeks. Though there is no X, itstill is way too powerful! Here are the installed packages.You still have mplayer,pure-ftpd,lftp,dsniff,ncftp,curl,hping,nmap,mutt,procmail,nail,vim,lua,python,rsnapshot,rdiff-backup,rtorrent,and a whole lot of other stuff!

image of LiveUSB-OpenBSD-Loaded 7z image from .

These LiveUSB images are based on 4.7 release of OpenBSD made on May 19, 2010.

In all the 3 variants you can always add and remove packages with thepkg_add(1) and pkg_delete(1) commands in case my choices donot agree with yours.

Once you download the 7z image, install and unzip theUSB image.

Install 7zip if not already present. # pkg_add p7zip Unzip the downloaded image with this command. $ 7z e liveusb-miniX.bin.7z

Then verify the SHA1 checksums from the table below.

this image to a USB stick with this command on OpenBSD

# dd if=liveusb-miniX.bin of=/dev/rsd0c bs=8192

Please be aware that your USB stick could be sd0 .. sdn dependingupon in what order you insert into your computer.

You can burn this image to a USB stick with this command on Linux.

# dd if=liveusb-miniX.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=8192

Please check with dmesg and find out whether your stick is identified assdb or sdc or whatever else.

You can burn this image to a USB stick with the rawrite on Windows.It is a GUI program.

Once you write the image you can test the USB stick without rebootingthe computer with this qemu command on OpenBSD.

# qemu -usb -hda /dev/rsd0c

Once you find that things work fine you can reboot. You can do somethingsimilar on Linux and Windows too.

If you are too lazy to burn it into a USB stick you could run this off aqemu emulator.

# qemu -hda liveusb-full.bin (If you want full networking you boot with) # qemu -net nic -net tap -hda usb-full.bin

But you have to change the /etc/fstab from this:

/dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1

to

/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1

qemu will give you a shell on which you have to run:

# mount /dev/wd0a / # cat > /etc/fstab /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1

Booting resumes from this point and throws up an xdm screen.Doing this saves this fstab into the USB image. Instead you can dobetter by copying it and using one image for qemu and another for USBburning.

If you wish to have LiveCD/LiveDVD instead, please refer to our other project on sourceforge!

Please e-mail for anything.
