OpenBSD installation and notes
Because I don't have (yet) a USBC->RJ45 dongle and still we don't have yet the firmware for the wireless adapter, we can use the USB tethering from your phone in order to get a temporal connection to internet, if needed.
Also, there is a documented method in that you can build a installation image within the firmware files, but I never used it yet.
TIP: Use the USB tethering feature from your phone by connection a USB-C cable to the laptop in order to get a temporal connection to Internet.
You will need the proper firmware binary file for your hardware, which is 'automagically' detected by the kernel and installed by using :
# fw_update fw_update: added intel,inteldrm,iwm,vmm; updated none; kept none # reboot
patch the current system :
# syspatch # reboot
wired method :
# ifconfig em0 up ; ifconfig em0 inet autoconf
wireless method :
create file /etc/hostname.iwm0
# cat /etc/hostname.iwm0 join YOURESSID wpakey YOURPASSWORD inet autoconf
change permissions to 640 to the file
# chmod 0640 /etc/hostname.iwm0
you should get your connection up and working.
install a package :
# pkg_add packagename
upgrade all :
# pkg_add -uv
list packages installed by user (without the dependencies) :
# pkg_info -mz | tee list.txt
install the previous package list in another computer :
# pkg_add -l list.txt
find packages :
# pkg_info -Q packagename # pkglocate packagename
delete packages (modified configuration files will not be removed. Unneeded dependencies can be trimmed by running pkg_delete -a at any time) :
# pkg_delete packagename # pkg_delete -a

Install and enable apmd and obsdfreqd :
# pkg_add obsdfreqd # rcctl enable apmd # rcctl set apmd flags -L # rcctl start apmd apmd(ok) # rcctl enable obsdfreqd # rcctl start obsdfreqd obsdfreqd(ok)
Add the following configurations to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ :
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/compositor.conf
BackSection "Extensions" Option "Composite" "true" EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/intel.conf
Section "Device" Identifier "drm" Driver "intel" Option "TearFree" "true" #Option "DRI" "iris" EndSection
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "3"
Option "TapButton3" "2"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
Option "FingerLow" "30"
Option "FingerHigh" "50"
Option "MaxTapTime" "125"
Option "TapAndDragGesture" "1"
Option "TappingDragLock" "1"
Option "PalmDetect" "1"
Option "PalmMinWidth" "8"
Option "PalmMinZ" "100"
#Option "VertScrollDelta" "-111"
# Option "HorizScrollDelta" "-111"
EndSection
I'm still playing with PalmDetect/MinWidth/MinZ in order to get annoying accidental touch in the middle of a file or a conversations :-\
VertScrollDelta is needed if you want to change to "natural scrolling", which is not for me but works perfect for someothers.

Increase the default limits from the system by adding your user to the staff group and modify login configuration :
% su - Password: # usermod -G staff username
Modify the file /etc/login.conf file and look for staff :
staff:\

:datasize-max=infinity:\
:maxproc-max=1024:\
:maxproc-cur=1024:\

Tune your filesystems and add cache by modifying the file /etc/fstab (CAUTION) :
a5636cdf25bfb5a8.b none swap sw a5636cdf25bfb5a8.a / ffs rw,softdep,noatime 1 1 a5636cdf25bfb5a8.l /home ffs rw,softdep,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2 a5636cdf25bfb5a8.d /tmp ffs rw,softdep,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2 a5636cdf25bfb5a8.f /usr ffs rw,softdep,noatime,nodev 1 2 a5636cdf25bfb5a8.g /usr/X11R6 ffs rw,softdep,noatime,nodev 1 2 a5636cdf25bfb5a8.h /usr/local ffs rw,softdep,noatime,wxallowed,nodev 1 2 a5636cdf25bfb5a8.k /usr/obj ffs rw,softdep,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2 a5636cdf25bfb5a8.j /usr/src ffs rw,softdep,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2 a5636cdf25bfb5a8.e /var ffs rw,softdep,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2 swap /home/user/.cache mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=300m 0 0
Because my X280 sometimes 'forgot' some seconds during the week I need to modify /etc/ntpd.conf and enable NTP :
# rcctl enable ntpd # rcctl start ntpd
This is my /etc/ntpd.conf :
servers pool.ntp.org server hora.roa.es # when I'm in Spain sensor * constraint from "9.9.9.9" # quad9 v4 without DNS constraint from "2620:fe::fe" # quad9 v6 without DNS
As root create the file /etc/doas.conf and add the following lines :
permit nopass YOURUSER as root cmd mount permit nopass YOURUSER as root cmd umount
Optionally you can use this to perform supergod mode (not recommended) :
permit persist keepenv YOURUSER
This is my file /etc/rc.conf.local :
apmd_flags=-L dhcpd_flags=vether0 pkg_scripts=obsdfreqd sndiod_flags=-s default -m play,mon -s mon xenodm_flags=
Enable virtual machine functionallity :
# rcctl enable vmd # rcctl start vmd
This is my /etc/vm.conf
switch "uplink" {
interface bridge0
}
vm "k8s" {
disable
memory 4G
cdrom "/usr/local/vm/alpine-virt-3.17.3-x86_64.iso"
disk "/usr/local/vm/k8s.qcow2"
owner iban
interface {
switch "uplink"
lladdr 52:54:00:00:EE:03
}
}
vm "podman" {
disable
memory 2G
cdrom "/usr/local/vm/alpine-virt-3.17.3-x86_64.iso"
disk "/usr/local/vm/podman.qcow2"
owner iban
interface {
switch "uplink"
lladdr 52:54:00:00:EE:04
}
}
vm "9front" {
disable
memory 2G
cdrom "/usr/local/vm/9front.iso"
disk "/usr/local/vm/9front.qcow2"
owner iban
interface {
switch "uplink"
lladdr 52:54:00:00:EE:05
}
}
TIP: for 9front (cpu+auth server) vm if connecting from outside of the host is required, you'll need to modify the file /etc/pf.conf :
pass in on egress proto tcp from any to any port 564 rdr-to 10.0.2.2 pass in on egress proto tcp from any to any port 567 rdr-to 10.0.2.2 pass in on egress proto tcp from any to any port 17019 rdr-to 10.0.2.2
10.0.2.2 is the IP address 9front VM gets, in this case, ie /etc/hostname.vether0 has inet 10.0.2.1/24.
Modify the following files :
/etc/dhcpcd.config
subnet 10.0.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# ip range to give away
range 10.0.2.2 10.0.2.20;
# that's host's IP address on vether0
option routers 10.0.2.1;
# you might want to configure something else here ofc
option domain-name-servers 9.9.9.9;
/etc/hostname.bridge0
add vether0 up
/etc/hostname.vether0
inet 10.0.2.1/24 up
