Latitude 7290 & 7280

Installing OpenBSD on old Dell Latitude 7290 and 7280 was pretty straight forward.

Needed hints from OpenBSD UEFI bootloader to get OpenBSD installed, also needed to play with the Dell BIOS to set it to legacy mode to install and then set it back to UEFI to boot.

doas /sbin/newfs_msdos sd1i doas mount /dev/sd1i /mnt2 doas mkdir -p /mnt2/efi/boot doas cp /usr/mdec/BOOTX64.EFI /mnt2/efi/boot

According to Wikipedia the 7290 is a 2018 model (went out of support in 2022) and the 7280 is a 2017 model.
