Topic: HyperbolaBSD y Libreboot

Aprovecho el momento comunicativo de los desarrolladores, que no creo dure mucho debido a las gigantescas tareas que están haciendo en desarrollar un sistema con kernel BSD.

En la pagina de documentación de Libreboot se señala que no es posible una instalación criptada completa del disco incluyendo la sección "boot".

¿En HyperbolaBSD pasará lo mismo?

Installing OpenBSD with full disk encryption

Not working. You can modify the above procedure (installation w/o encryption) to install OpenBSD using full disk encryption, and it appears to work, except that it’s not yet clear how to actually boot an OpenBSD+FDE installation using libreboot+Grub2. If you get it working, please let us know.

If booting in text mode (framebuffer mode might also work), it might be possible to chainload the OpenBSD or LibertyBSD bootloader from the MBR section on the internal storage device. This way, it would be possible to boot with an encrypted OpenBSD or LibertyBSD installation. Please let us know (contact details are on the libreboot homepage) if you get it working this way.

Alternatively, it would be good to port OpenBSD either natively as a coreboot payload, or port it to libpayload (payload library in coreboot; it has a basic C library and a few functions for certain operations e.g. text/bitmap). This would be ideal, because then it would be possible to boot a truly fully encrypted OpenBSD or LibertyBSD installation, by putting everything in the flash chip.

Alternatively, modifying GRUB to support booting fully encrypted OpenBSD installations would be possible, but probably not feasible; it’s an alien codebase to the OpenBSD project, not tightly integrated and the OpenBSD bootloader already works.

Lo que te puedo decir es que primero HyperbolaBSD no existe aún y esta en desarrollo, segundo va a ser un sistema independiente lo cual mismo que haya usado la base de OpenBSD como punto de partida, no implica que vaya a ser lo mismo, ya que va a ser un sistema operativo independiente y nuevo, de la misma forma que OpenBSD cuando ha empezado usando a NetBSD como base para empezar el desarrollo.
