So, if you read my recent post on setting up a virtual machine multi-boot image with OpenBSD and Linux, you’ll be familiar with the background for this post.  Today, I’m going to detail the exact steps I took to set … Continue reading →

In my last post, I talked about creating a multiboot Virtual Machine that had OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux on it.  In that post, I mentioned that my next step would be to actually set up a laptop on real hardware … Continue reading →
