Project Status
Please note that this project is no longer active.

If you are interested in taking over the code base please let me know.

Overview

Finally the image must be written to the compact flash card. A low level utility, such as dd, is required to copy the image onto the card.

Depending on the support of your compact flash writer under OpenBSD it maybe necessary to write your image under Linux or Windows.

The soekris.img file is created in /root/greenfrog/image.

Writing the image under OpenBSD

To write the image under OpenBSD to sd0, as root type:cd /root/greenfrog/image
dd if=soekris.img of=/dev/rsd0c bs=20m

Writing the image under Linux

To write the image under linux to sd0, as root type:dd if=soekris.img of=/dev/sd0a bs=512

Writing the image under Windows

There are some windows tools that ship with all linux and OpenBSD cdroms, these should be suitable to install the image, please refer to the instructions on the readme files for instructions on how to use them.

Done! Please also see Post Installation (Release 4.1) or Known Issues (Release 4.1).
