flashrd binary image installation instructions

Installing from OpenBSD

OpenBSD users need to get growimg and cfgflashrd from the latest flashrd-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz distribution file

You can either grab an appropriate image and write it directly to disk:

gzip -d flashimg.i386.com0-20120831.gz ./growimg -t sdX flashimg.i386.com0-20120831

Or you can create a new image (default auto root, PC console), configure it, and write it to disk:

gzip -d flashimg.i386-20120831.gz ./cfgflashrd -image flashimg.i386-20120831 ./growimg -t sdX flashimg.i386-20120831

If you want to reconfigure a PC console image for serial console, use the -com0 option to cfgflashrd. (Note that cfgflashrd will not revert the image back to PC console on subsequent runs.)

gzip -d flashimg.i386.wd0.pccons-20120831.gz ./cfgflashrd -image flashimg.i386.pccons-20120831 -com0 38400 ./growimg -t sdX flashimg.i386.pccons-20120831
