2025-04-18: reinstalling OpenBSD. First I ran Asahi Linux installer to install "UEFI environment only (m1n1 + U-Boot + ESP)" into free space. I named it OpenBSD. Next I plugged in a OpenBSD 7.6 install usb stick. To get it to boot, I had to select OpenBSD from boot opetions screen, interrupt uboot and run
usb reset usb start run bootcmd_usb0
and then the installer ran. This time I'm only creating a single OpenBSD partiton (A6), we shall see how that goes.
2025-04-17: sd0a - network - now when I try ifconfig bwfm0 up, /var/log/messages shows
