+OpenBSDInstallPrelude
+
+If OpenBSD will be sharing the disk with DOS or another operating
+system, you should have already completed the section of these notes
+that instructed you on how to prepare your hard disk.  You should know
+the size of the OpenBSD area of the disk and its offset from the
+beginning of the disk.  You will need this information when setting up
+your OpenBSD partitions.  If your BIOS uses translated geometry, you
+should use this geometry for the remainder of the install.  This is
+only necessary if you are sharing the disk with other operating systems
+that use the translated geometry.
+
+There are several ways to install OpenBSD onto a disk.  The easiest way,
+should your computer support it, is to boot off the OpenBSD CD-ROM, or
+off the bootable CD-ROM mini image.  Otherwise, you can boot from a 3.5"
+1.44MB floppy disk if your machine has a floppy drive.
+
+OpenBSDInstallPart2
+
+	With either the CD-ROM or the floppy in the drive, reboot your
+	computer. You might have to play with your BIOS options to let the
+	computer boot from the installation media, rather than the hard
+	disk.
+
+	It will take a while to load the kernel from a floppy or slow
+	speed CD-ROM drive, most likely more than a minute.  If some
+	action doesn't eventually happen, or the spinning cursor has
+	stopped and nothing further has happened, either your boot floppy
+	is bad or you are having hardware problems. If trying another
+	floppy disk doesn't help, try booting after disabling your CPU's
+	internal and external caches (if any).  If it still doesn't work,
+	OpenBSD probably can't be run on your hardware.  This can probably
+	be considered a bug, so you might want to report it.
+	If you do, please {:-include-:} as many details about your system
+	configuration as you can.
+
+
+OpenBSDBootMsgs
+
+	You will next be asked for your terminal type.  You should just
+	hit return to select the default (vt220).
+
+OpenBSDInstallPart3({:- or "wd0" for IDE/RLL/ESDI/ST506 drives-:})
+
+	Next you will have to edit or create a disk label for the disk
+	OpenBSD is being installed on.  If there are any existing
+	partitions defined (for any operating system), and a disk label
+	is not found, you will first be given an opportunity to run
+	fdisk and create an OpenBSD partition.
+
+	If fdisk is being invoked on your behalf, it will start by
+	displaying the current partitions defined and then allow you
+	to modify this information, add new partitions and change
+	which partition to boot from by default.  If you make a mistake,
+	you will be allowed to repeat this procedure as necessary to
+	correct this.  Note that you should make OpenBSD be the active
+	partition at least until the install has been completed.
+
+OpenBSDInstallPart4({:- If you have DOS or Linux partitions
+	defined on the disk, these will usually show up as partition
+	'h', 'i' and so on.-:})
+
+	Note that all OpenBSD partitions in the disk label must have an
+	offset that makes it start within the OpenBSD part of the disk,
+	and a size that keeps it inside of that portion of the disk.  This
+	is within the bounds of the 'c' partition if the disk is not being
+	shared with other operating systems, and within the OpenBSD fdisk
+	partition if the disk is being shared.
