Hi I need some help with a problem. The issue can be found here: https://github.com/openbsd/flashboot/issues/9 It''s about booting Flashboot on a USB stick with a computer with a SSD. Flashboot assumes that the USB stick has device sd0 but that device is in fact the ssd drive. Does any one have any idea how to solve this? Regards Johan Ryberg
I have done some further testing and replaced the device in fstab to the disk duid but it seems not to solve any problem. It would be nice to solve this to make it possible to boot on usb stick independent of existing hardware in the computer.

I want the image to be bootable on different hardware, not only this specific one. I solved it by mounting /flash with duid instead of the device to make it work independent of how many sd devices the hardware got.
