Instructions to do this are in the OpenBSD FAQ. When installing OpenBSD I always use softraid(8) CRYPTO to encrypt my system. On a Unix-like operating system dd can be used to accomplish this: dd if=install71.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=fsync Grab install71.img from and write it to a USB flash disk. Hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad X280 (8GB RAM / 256GB NVMe / Intel Wifi) To read that manual page, type: man 1 cwm (though man cwm will default to cwm(1)). So when you see cwm(1) - I am referring to cwm in the General Commands manual, which is manual 1. It is customary when mentioning any command, file, or topic that has a manual page to include which manual it’s included in.

I may update this article in the future with ‘rice’ for cwm(1) (including Xresources, etc) but at present this is a basic guide to getting a generic desktop system up and running. I was going to update the previous article but as my own habits have changed quite a lot and are more in line with the spirit of the OpenBSD base, it seemed like a new article was warranted. In fact, I even run OpenBSD on an Apple Macbook Pro M1/Silicon now! It has been a few years since I last wrote about OpenBSD on the desktop (or laptop), and support for modern hardware has continued to improve.
