For anybody which might be interested I explain in short (for advanced users and untested) how to start to to manually install a minimal distribution of openmamba:
- boot any Linux OS with networking
- use i.e.
curlorwgetto download the openmamba rootfs-base archive from the download page - initialize the destination storage by creating the partition table (GPT or MSDOS) and a FAT32 EFI boot partition (2-300 MBytes) and an ext4 partition
- format the partitions respectively with the
mkfs.vfatandmkfs.ext4 - mount on some mount point the O.S. partition (ext4) and bind mount the boot partition at
/boot, aso bind mount/dev,/sys,/proc,/runfrom the running O.S. - run
chrootto get an openmamba chroot shell in the O.S. partition - install the kernel (
dnf install kernel-mamba-x86_64) - install grub packages (
dnf install grub grub-efi-x86_64) - set a login password for the root user with
passwdcommand exitfrom chroot, unmount and try rebooting- you expected that probably something might not work, this can be discussed and fixed
