HPCBIOS is a BIOS patcher that allows users to add new features to their systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing HPCBIOS on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

• A working installation of OpenBSD
• Internet connectivity
• Basic understanding of the command line

Installation

1. Open a terminal window and log in as the root user.

2. Install the required dependencies for HPCBIOS by running the following command:

4. Change into the HPCBIOS directory by running:

   cd HPCBIOS
   

5. Use gmake to build HPCBIOS by running:

   gmake
   

   This will create the hpcbios binary.

6. Install HPCBIOS by copying the hpcbios binary to /usr/local/bin. Run:

   cp hpcbios /usr/local/bin
   

7. Verify that HPCBIOS is installed by running:

   hpcbios --version
   

   This should display the version of HPCBIOS that you just installed.
