What follows is setting up a flash drive to work with OpenBSD and Windows
- step 1 – Plug in your USB flash drive
- step 2 – Create a flash drive directory (if not already created)
- step 3 – Create and format a MSDOS partition
- step 4 – Mount the flash drive filesystem
1. Physically plug in your USB flash drive.
2. Create a flash drive directory (if not already created)
# mkdir /mnt/flashdrive
3. Create and format a MSDOS partition
# newfs -t msdos sd0c
This will create the i partition on the sd0 flash device.
