Manual (chroot) OpenBSD installation without the installer.

Vladimir-V

Hello everyone. Does anybody know is there a guide on the Internet about OpenBSD installation via shell and without the installer program? The only ones I could find on the web were NetBSD chroot installation guides. One by JuvenalUrbino (on this forum) and a couple of others. I tried somehow to follow these guides while installing OpenBSD and I failed miserably. The reason why I am asking this is because of my eagerness to learn OpenBSD.

Why not install and run it in a VM? Pretty easy to do.

OK. It seems that many have misunderstood my question. Let me put it in this way: I would like to have a guide about installing OpenBSD in the Arch Linux manner. Like this (https://www.unitedbsd.com/d/771-netbsd-desktop-part-1-manual-netbsd-installation-on-gptuefi) but for OpenBSD.

Vladimir-V Like this but for OpenBSD.

I'm not aware of any, but, since the OpenBSD installer is just a shell-script, it should be pretty straight-forward to create a guide like that after reading through the script.
