+title: Install OpenBSD from linux
+description: How to install OpenBSD at hosting providers that do not support it
+---
+
+## Introduction
+
+This article explains a simple method to install OpenBSD when all you have is a linux and a remote console.
+
+## How to
+
+First login as root on the linux you want to reinstall as Openbsd then fetch the installer :
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+curl https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.8/amd64/bsd.rd -o /bsd.rd
+{{< /highlight >}}
+
+Then edit the loader configuration, in this example grub2 :
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+echo '
+menuentry "OpenBSD" {
+	set root=(hd0,msdos1)
+	kopenbsd /bsd.rd
+}' >> /etc/grub.d/40_custom
+echo 'GRUB_TIMEOUT=60' >> /etc/default/grub
+grub2-mkconfig > /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
+{{< /highlight >}}
+
+If you reboot now and connect your remote console you should be able to boot the OpenBSD installer.
