Hi everbody,

I would like to get a OpenBSD installed on a box where a FreeBSD 6.2 is
currently installed.

I thought about using Yaifo like I did many times before.
I just have to face a problem with FreeBSD.....:

My HDD is ad4s1 and I would like to use dd to simply overwrite the HDD
with yaifo.fs but I can't. I get a "permission denied" (as root!) if I try
it.

I tried:

ad0, ad4, ad4s1, ad4s1c.. all the same.

Seriously: Somebody knows how to get RID OF THAT DAMN fBSD and get a
OpenBSD at the Box? Inserting a CD is no choice because the Box is about
14000 miles away.

Seriously: if root can't write a Image to the HDD (as "root"....) the
system is just "fucked" up and the concepts are braindead.... But propably
I'm lacking leet fBSD skills here...

So has somebody more fBSD experience to advise me how I can (without
serial consoele nor "rescue" linux..) I simply apply a Image to the HDD?

A simple dd if=yaifo.fs of=/dev/ad4s1 or so would be great!

I asked about 4 people already. Either we're all too stupid or there's
something we all missed...


Kind regards,
Sebastian
