- To install via FTP:
- To begin an FTP install you will need the following
- pieces of information. Don't be daunted by this list;
- the defaults are sufficient for most people.
- 1) Proxy server URL if you are using a URL-based
- ftp proxy (squid, CERN ftp, Apache 1.2 or higher).
- You need to define a proxy if you are behind a
- firewall that blocks outgoing ftp (assuming you
- have a proxy available to use).
- 2) Do you need to use passive mode ftp? Most modern
- ftp servers are capable of dealing with passive
- ftp connections. You only need to enable this
- option if you are behind a firewall that allows
- outgoing ftp but blocks incoming tcp ports > 1023.
- If in doubt say yes to this option.
- Note that you will not be asked about passive
- ftp if you are using a proxy.
- 3) The IP address (or hostname if you enabled
- DNS earlier in the install) of an ftp server
- carrying the OpenBSD 2.3 distribution.
- If you don't know, just hit return when
- asked if you want to see a list of such hosts.
- 4) The ftp directory holding the distribution sets.
- The default value of pub/OpenBSD/2.3/amiga
- is almost always correct.
- 5) The login and password for the ftp account.
- The default will be correct unless you are
- doing non-anonymous ftp.
-
- For instructions on how to complete the installation via
- ftp, see the section named "Common URL installations" below.
-
- To install via HTTP:
- To begin an HTTP install you will need the following
- pieces of information:
- 1) Proxy server URL if you are using a URL-based
- http proxy (squid, CERN ftp, Apache 1.2 or higher).
- You need to define a proxy if you are behind a
- firewall that blocks outgoing http connections
- (assuming you have a proxy available to use).
- 3) The IP address (or hostname if you enabled
- DNS earlier in the install) of an http server
- carrying the OpenBSD 2.3 distribution.
- If you don't know, just hit return when
- asked if you want to see a list of such hosts.
- 4) The directory holding the distribution sets.
- There is no standard location for this;
- You should use the directory specified
- along with the server in the list of official
- http mirror sites that you received in step 3.
-
- For instructions on how to complete the installation via
- http, see the section named "Common URL installations" below.
-
- To install from tape:
- In order to install from tape, the distribution sets to be
- installed must have been written to tape previously, either
- in tar format or gzip-compressed tar format.
-
- You will also have to identify the tape device where the
- distribution sets are to be extracted from. This will
- typically be "nrst0" (no-rewind, raw interface).
-
- Next you will have to provide the file number of the set
- that is to be extracted. Note that the file number starts
- at 1, which is the first file written to the tape.
-
- The install program will not automatically detect whether
- an image has been compressed, so it will ask for that
- information before starting the extraction.
-
- To install from CD-ROM:
- When installing from a CD-ROM, you will be asked which
- device holds the distribution sets. This will typically
- be either "cd0" or "acd0". Next you will be asked which
- partition on the CD-ROM the distribution is to be loaded
- from. This is normally partition "a".
-
- Next you will have to identify the file system type that
- has been used to create the distribution on the CD-ROM,
- this can be either FFS or ISO CD9660. The OpenBSD CD
- distribution uses the CD9660 format.
-
- You will also have to provide the relative path to the
- directory on the CD which holds the distribution, for the
- amiga this is "2.3/amiga".
-
- For instructions on how to complete the installation from
- the CD-ROM distribution, see the section named "Common
- file system installations" below.
-
- To install from a NFS mounted directory:
- When installing from a NFS-mounted directory, you must
- have completed network configuration above, and also
- set up the exported file system on the NFS server in
- advance.
-
- First you must identify the IP address of the NFS server
- to load the distribution from, and the file system the
- server expects you to mount.
-
- The install program will also ask whether or not TCP
- should be used for transport (the default is UDP). Note
- that TCP only works with newer NFS servers.
-
- You will also have to provide the relative path to the
- directory on the file system where the distribution sets
- are located. Note that this path should not be prefixed
- with a '/'.
-
- For instructions on how to complete the installation from
- the CD-ROM distribution, see the section named "Common
- file system installations" below.
-
- To install from a local disk partition:
- When installing from a local disk partition, you will
- first have to identify which disk holds the distribution
- sets. This is normally "sdN" or "wdN" where N is a
- number 0 through 9. Next you will have to identify the
- partition within that disk that holds the distribution,
- this is a single letter between 'a' and 'p'.
-
- You will also have to identify the type of file system
- residing in the partition identified. Currently you can
- install from partitions that has been formatted as
- Berkeley fast file system (ffs) or AmigaDOS FFS (ados).
-
- You will also have to provide the relative path to the
- directory on the file system where the distribution sets
- are located. Note that this path should not be prefixed
- with a '/'.
-
- For instructions on how to complete the installation from
- the a local disk partition, see the next section.

- Common file system installations:
- The following instructions are common to installations
- from local disk partitions, NFS mounted directories and
- CD-ROMs.
-
- A list of available distribution sets will be listed. If
- any sets has already been extracted, those will be marked
- with an X. Enter the name of one distribution set at a
- time, until all desired distribution sets has been
- installed on your system.
-
- Common URL installations:
- Once you have entered the required information, the
- install program will fetch a file list and present
- a list of all the distribution sets that were found
- in the specified directory. (If no valid sets were found,
- you will be notified and given the option of unpacking
- any gzipped tar files found or getting a file list if
- none were found.)
-
- At this point you may individually select distribution
- sets to install or enter "all" to install all of
- the sets (which is what most users will want to do).
- You may also enter "list" to get a file list or
- "done" when you are done selecting distribution sets.
- (It is also possible to enter an arbitrary filename
- and have it treated as a file set).
-
- Once you have selected the file sets you want to install
- and entered "done" you will be prompted to verify that
- you really do want to download and install the files.
- Assuming you acquiesce, the files will begin to download
- and unpack. If not, you will be given the option of
- installing sets via one of the other install methods.
-
-
- When all the selected distribution sets has been extracted, you
- will be allowed to select which time zone your system will be
- using, all the device nodes needed by the installed system will
- be created for you and the file systems will be unmounted. For
- this to work properly, it is expected that you have installed
- at least the "base23" and "etc23" distribution sets.
-
-
-Congratulations, you have successfully installed OpenBSD 2.3. When you
-reboot into OpenBSD, you should log in as "root" at the login prompt.
-There is no initial password, but if you're using the machine in a
-networked environment, you should create yourself an account and
-protect it and the "root" account with good passwords. You should have
-got a mail from the install program we recommend you to read. This you
-can do by running
-
- mail
-
-and then just enter "1" to get at the first mail. You quit mail by
-entering "q".
-
-Some of the files in the OpenBSD 2.3 distribution will need to be
-tailored for your site. We recommend you run:
-
- man afterboot
-
-which will tell you about a bunch of the files needing to be reviewed.
-If you are unfamiliar with UN*X-like system administration, it's
-recommended that you buy a book that discusses it.
