Fuguita 6.3 LiveCD†
Rufwoof (2018-05-24 (Thu) 08:26:43)
Worked great for me. Thanks. Posted about it over on reddit
https://old.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/8lns6i/fuguita_openbsd_livecd_63/?ref=share&ref_source=link
Acer Aspire with Phenom 4core, onboard Radeon, 2GB RAM. Booting the fuguita ISO version (DVD). Have OpenBSD installed to HDD and the live-boot version seems to have picked up/used the HDD installed swap slice OK.
- Rufwoof, thank you for reporting.
As you mentioned, FuguIta scans all disk devices at startup and enables all OpenBSD swap partitions found.
If the swap partition is enabled, the maximum size of tmpfs is the sum of the size of the real memory plus the size of the swap partition.
By the way, by copying some files of FuguIta to HDD partition, OpenBSD installed on HDD and FuguIta can coexist.
1. Create a directory named "ISO" on a partition on HDD.
OpenBSD ffs, Linux ext2-4, NTFS or FAT is OK for that.
2. Copy decompressed FuguIta ISO image to the "ISO" directory.
3. Copy the FuguIta kernels (/sysmedia/bsd-fi and /sysmedia/bsd-fi.mp files on running FuguIta) to the OpenBSD root partition of HDD.
4. At the boot prompt at HDD startup, enter as follows.
boot> bsd-fi.mp
or "bsd-fi" for uniprocessor kernel
5. optional: If you made a directory called "livecd-config" on any FFS partition, you can save all your files, installed packages, etc on Running FuguIta, then you can load them at next boot.
Please give it a try. -- kaw
- Thanks K. That all worked excepting 5. I can't seem to get that to work. I tried using one of the HDD installed OpenBSD partitions and added a livecd-config folder, but when I run usbfadm it doesn't see that. I suspect I should be using another non HDD OpenBSD ffs partition? I like fuguita very much, its quite similar to Puppy Linux frugal install is many respects. -- Rufwoof
- As I forgot to mention, the ffs partition which will be created "livecd-config" on, needs to be something other than the one that created "ISO". Because, the partition of "ISO" is mounted read-only all the time during FuguIta's operation.
The partition of "livecd-config" must be ffs. It doesn't matter it's HDD or non-HDD.
I have heard that FuguIta is similar to Puppy Linux before. Thanks -- kaw
- Thanks. I've since done a HDD install, and set it to non interactive at bootup as per your help pages and that is working well for me. I'm saving using /boottmp/usbfadm before shutdown. I haven't seen anything yet about upgrading when a new/later ISO comes out, does that involve having to re-reinstall all over again? -- Rufwoof
- More usually under standard OpenBSD I use openup (Mtier) to upgrade things. I guess that could also be used under FuguIta -- Rufwoof
- The FuguIta upgrade procedure is described in the FuguIta Guide.
This is a comprehensive document about FuguIta, the original version is written in Japanese.
For the upgrade, please refer to this part (Google translate is your friend).
In any case, the best way to upgrade FuguIta is to download the new version and replace it with the old one.
FuguIta combines read-only and read-write parts. This point is very different from OpenBSD.
So, unfortunately, syspatch will not work well (since it is not a GENERIC kernel, especially in the case of kernels).
If the base OpenBSD version has not changed, the data saved under livecd-config can be used as it is.
If the version has changed, I think that you will manually migrate the data in livecd-config to the new environment. -- kaw
Changing default boot parameters†
Chevyawesome (2018-04-26 (Thu) 23:44:57)
Hey, I want to build a LiveCD and make so that upon boot it will apply the language and disk to use on it’s own ( as of now it requires me manually pressing enter a couple times and selecting keyboard layout to boot), I steered a way to change the default settings for this?, and if so, how can I achieve this
how to get OpenBSD file tree?†
shaman123 (2018-04-24 (Tue) 23:45:33)
hey, I'm trying to build my own liveCD of OpenBSD, and I'm stuck at the stage of the tutorial where I need to cd to my OpenBSD file tree:
"Whole OpenBSD file tree which will be burned in the ISO image" where can I get this?
- The simplest way to do it is that you will install normal OpenBSD on any disk device, and copy whole installed files and directories into build tool.
As the second solution, *.tgz tarballs from OpenBSD's official distribution is also usable. But in this case, you must extract /var/sysmerge/etc??.tgz (and xetc??.tgz) after extract distributed tarballs. -- kaw
- In any case, total size of file tree must be less than 700MB, or you must delete any unnecessary files to fit ISO image of CD. -- kaw
- very helpful! I will try!, also, is there a was to do the same but LiveDVD (just so I can fit more)? -- shaman123
- Although I've never been made LiveDVD with FuguIta's way, I'm guessing it is the same as LiveCD's way.
But, some sizes of image files, partitions and file systems should be changed to fit to the size of DVD media.
In addition to that, size of media (700MB) is hard coded in the utility "usbfadm".
This must be also changed. -- kaw

inaccessible man pages in mode 2†
aleksa (2018-02-01 (Thu) 00:09:03)
Hi kaw!
I tried the latest FuguIta.img (6.2-i386-201801201) and noticed that in mode 2 the man pages are inaccessible (e. g. # man man gives ‘man: No entry for man in the manual.’).
- Hi, Aleksa. Thank you for the report. Changes made in 6.2 may be affected ... FuguIta/6.2/BTS/2. I will investigate, please wait for a while now. -- kaw

FuguIta 6.2 for arm64†
kaw (2017-10-20 (Fri) 11:42:05)
This is the test version. Here is a README:
Note about FuguIta-6.2-arm64 (test version)
Install:
* download miniroot62-arm64-fi.fs and FuguIta-6.2-arm64-201710241.img.gz from
FuguIta's mirror site
* write miniroot62-arm64-fi.fs to a micro SD card
* unzip and write FuguIta-6.2-arm64-201710241.img.gz to a USB stick
* Attach the SD and the USB to RPi3, then boot.
* On FuguIta-6.2-arm64, networking is pre-configured.
IP addr.: 192.168.1.147
SSH port: 4272
Login:
* After boot started, about 75sec it replies for PING,
and about 110sec SSH is available.
* Console device is still serial port.
You can login via serial and network.
(username = fuguita, password = fugu.ita)
System administration:
* Almost same as FuguIta i386/amd64, but 'newdrive' of usbfadm utility
will not work properly. 'target', 'saveas' and 'sync' are OK.
* sd0d:/noasks is the file which holds FuguIta's auto-boot configurations.
* sd0d:/livecd-config/6.2/arm64/fuguita.orig holds the factory defaults.
You can recover by overwriting fuguita.orig to fuguita directory.
Have fun!

6.2†
Charlie Ebert (2017-10-14 (Sat) 02:11:31)
Hi Kawa.
I tried 6.2 last night .fs and it was SLOW. Took over 2 hours to install.
bsd.mp ran very slow after install and for head yery slow. I don't think their Intel Skylake stuff is working right.
It was disaster.
Waiting for Fugulta 6.2
Think their install6.2.fs image is bad
Installed application man page†
aleksa (2017-07-15 (Sat) 05:16:53)
Hi jaw!
After booting in mode 0, installing an application, syncing and rebooting into mode 3 I cannot access the man page for the application.
E.g.,
# man wget
results in
man: /ram/usr/local/man//usr/local/man/man1/wget.1: ERROR: No such file or directory
- Run makewhatis manually. or wait until next /etc/weekly will be executed. -- kaw
