Journal karniv0re's Journal: Puff says, "OpenBSD's the only way to be."
I've now got OpenBSD running alongside Windows XP (for games, damnit!). It wasn't hard getting the two to dual boot, once I decided that it wasn't a good idea to overwrite the the boot sector on which Microsoft stakes a claim. Then once I got both installed, I mounted the windows partition (I kept it Fat32 for read/write access in OBSD) copied openbsd.pbr to C:\, booted into Windows, and added it to the NT Boot Loader list. There's a nice guide somewhere online, but I can't be bothered to find it.
Then in order to get sound working with my Audigy 2 ZS, I had to patch a file in the kernel and recompile the kernel (also found online).
Then to get video working, I had to run xf86config and work some magic in there.
Next, to get my 250 GB hard drive working, I have to partition it into smaller partitions than 128 GB. But that's later. I do wish I had written some of this shite down, but why would I do that? That would be practical.
