Installation notes

Download the flashrd binary images.

Backup the existing flash cards using dd.

dd the new flashrd images to the existing flash cards.

Mount the flash cards or boot the flash card using qemu, modify /etc/ttys as follows:

19c19
< tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off
---
> tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on secure

Add this to /flash/etc/boot.conf: (/flash is on /dev/wd0a)

set timeout 5
set tty com0

Plug the flash cards into the existing devices, boot as follows:

boot> set tty com0
switching console to com0
                         >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 3.02
boot> boot
booting hd0a:/bsd: 10707316+1055248 [52+360656+344597]=0xbe4014
entry point at 0x200120

To boot the older flash images, "boot -s" and then "/stand/rc".
