Installing OS108 to your hard drive is done by using the sysinst utility, the process is basically the same as installing NetBSD itself.
Please referer to the NetBSD guide for installation details, http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/part-install.html

--Be sure to enable option "log" in partition to your FFSv2 file system.
--If you choose a custom partition scheme, which makes updating between releases easier, be aware that OS108, as NetBSD, installs software to /usr/pkg, so the /usr partition should be the largest partition on your drive.

When the base install is finished, let dhcp configure your network connection automatically, set the console keyboard, created a root password and set the root shell.
Please make sure to create at least one user being of group wheel from the configuration menu.

After install login to root account and follow these steps while CD ISO is in cdrom device:

#mount /cdrom
#sh /cdrom/OS108/xfce.sh

And for USB installer :

#mount /dev/dk1 /cdrom
#sh /cdrom/OS108/xfce.sh

where dk1 is your usb drive

Hello to everyone. After having "burned" the os108 img file to my usb stick I tried to booit it. unfortunately I got some errors.

    Point is that I feel not safe by upgrading if I don't understand why with the 9.1-STABLE I can use my screen at 1920x1080 and why I haven't been able to do this from a lot of time when I did a lot of experiments with the 9.2 as you see on the link that I gave to you. The risk is that "the magic" breaks and I can't use netbsd anymore.

    Why is this project not updated ever since last year

    • Jay replied to this.

      Jay Ok, I got it but why 10 and not 9.3 stable version

      • Jay replied to this.

        Assassink You can easily upgrade to 9.3 using NetBSD's sysupgrade 🙂

          Ok I thought that it is not using NetBSD 9.3

          Can I try it to bring it on OpenBSD which has better graphics support for current latest GPU cards and latest CPU generation

          Hi,
          I'm new to BSD in general, and tried to install os108, on my Acer Aspire, 64bit.
          It failed to set up the wifi.
          I read on netbsd release page that the latest 9.3 has some improvements related to wifi, so perhaps you need to update os108 to 9.3?

          I didn't manage to make it dual-boot with my windows, so I had to reinstall windows. But this is probably my fault, didn't read more carefully, so I missed one particular paragraph about adding labels to bootmenu in :
          https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-exinst.html#exinst-partitions
          But then the docs are not user friendly at all (too many versions to keep track of: your video (outdated), netbsd guide (with outdated pictures), the Install doc ...).
          Only one other relevant source I found googling "netbsd dual boot windows" : https://rubenerd.com/dual-boot-windows-nt-netbsd-on-the-libretto-70ct/ , even that not about modern windows .
          (the explanations in faq of netbsd didn't help).

          I conclude netbsd is not for beginners...

            vic you can upgrade OS108 to NetBSD 9.3 base via sysupgrade.

              Jay how, if the installation failed to set up wifi?

              • Jay replied to this.

                vic you can set up wifi after installation.

                I would not know how. I thought maybe version 9.3 can cope with it automatically.
