Hello, thanks for reading this message.
Just a little ago I just discovered the OpenBSD OS and I really liked it. Then I took my USB and tried to install it.
When it tells me which disk is the root disk it only shows the USB disk (if I were to install it as a live system, it wouldn't even fit, 2GB and half occupied by the installer).
I tried everything, shift RAID to AHCI (I checked and it was AHCI before), disable secure boot, format the disk (completely empty), verify checksums, and other things in the manual and FAQ, but the installer doesn't see my disk.
here is some info about the system
Using install.79 for AMD
HP Laptop 14-ck0xxx
Intel Core i5-852u CPU @
Disk: ADATA su650 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s 480GB (with AHCI controller ,says the Bios)
The USB I'm using for installing is a KingstonDT 101 || using UEFI (as the Bios says)
Hope you could solve my problem, or at least let me know if my hardware doesn't have support by the moment.
Good to know about people doing an absolute amazing job at providing free software for anybody, letting knowledge reach to all the world and providing secure tools for computing.
Thanks.
