BowlFish is a customized OpenBSD install script, to make it fit into the small media (e.g. CF cards) that tipically come together with embedded systems, like Soekris and WRAP boards. The install procedure is similar to a standard OpenBSD install.

    BowlFish - OpenBSD installer for embedded systems ------------------------------------------------- May 2, 2009 -- version 1.8 - Added a couple of aliases to root's profile ('rw' and 'ro') to quickly mount the / filesystem read-write o readonly. - Added the creation of the gpio device at installation time - Added the systat utility to install.files. Nov 13, 2008 -- version 1.7p1 - Updated the kernel configuration files. Nov 7, 2008 -- version 1.7 - Install the default sysctl.conf file instead of a custom one. - Updated the install script according to the changes in OpenBSD 4.4. - Updated the rc script to fill net.inet.(tcp|udp).baddynamic lists. Jun 2, 2008 -- version 1.6 - Updated the list of the files to install (install.files) in order to include OpenBSD 4.3's new tools, such as snmpd and relayd. - Imported the new kernel configuration files from flashdist. - Updated the rc script to start the new daemons (snmpd, relayd, ospf6d...) - Fixed the permissions for some files and directories in bowlfish.tgz. Nov 22, 2007 -- version 1.5 - Added the possibility of specifying an NTP server during installation - The installation procedure now prompts for the time zone and creates the /etc/localtime file. - Updated the installation script to use the (slightly) new syntax of the newfs(8) command. - Updated the rc script and the kernel config files. May 19, 2007 -- version 1.4 - Updated the list of files to install in order to include the new hoststated(8) and ripd(8) daemons and their control programs (hoststatectl(8) and ripctl(8) respectively). - Updated the /etc/rc script to include the new hoststated(8) and ripd(8) tools. - Removed kern.watchdog.auto from /etc/sysctl.conf; no need to explicitely set it to 1: this is the default value! - Now the log socket for syslogd(8) is /var/run/dev/log (set in the new /etc/rc.conf.local file) Jan 27, 2007 -- version 1.3p1 - Fixed a little bug in the custom 'rc' script that prevented the system from correctly starting PF. Nov 12, 2006 -- version 1.3 - BowlFish now removes the debugging symbols from libraries to save space. - Updated the rc script. - Added a few files in install.files. Sep 3, 2006 -- version 1.2 - Added support for GPIO: now you can use gpioctl(8) to have fun with LEDs and LCD displays. - Updated kernel config files. - Added a few files in install.files. - Fixed a bug due to a change in ldd(1) output. Mar 24, 2006 -- version 1.1 - The /root directory is now a read-write, in memory, directory, like /var; this will allow the root user to receive e-mail (though not to store it permanently); - The list of files to install from file sets is extracted to a temporary file instead of being passed as arguments; this will allow bowlfish to handle lists of files of any length. - Fixed a little bug in the custom 'rc' script that prevented the system from correctly setting sysctls on boot. Nov 19, 2005 -- version 1.0 - Initial release
