VirtualBox: Part 3
Eli took a long nap today, so I used the idle time to install a copy of OpenBSD (4.4) in VirtualBox.
I opted for the ISO install (I will try the network one later) which I downloaded somewhere – I can’t remember, but its all over – like here for instance.
Like all the other ones it was a matter of setting it up in VirtualBox, mounting the CD ISO and booting…
Unlike the other OS’s we’ve installed here Open BSD has a rudimentary text-based installer.
Just like those *nix’s of old – I got hung up on the partitioning (mainly how to exit once I had set it up), and decided to cut my losses early and go to the FAQ. The FAQ is layed out well and should answer most questions about installing.
Once we got past the partitions it was a matter of hitting enter a dozen times, setting some passwords, ignoring some segmentation faults, and rebooting!
Odd errors…I thought I configured that already…
Oh well, let’s try to login…
No Xwindow – segmentation faults…hmm…lynx?
Looks like the network is up – thats a good thing for when it comes time to fix X Server.
This is as far as I got before it was time to eat a late lunch with Eli – in part 3.5 we try to get X Server up…
