- use the new m4.common shared instructions.
- try to have consistent order, across arches, in the list of possible installation media. - alpha can't install over nfs, but macppc can.

Installation is supported from several media types, including:

FFS partitions

For ramdisk installs you need to get both the bsd and bsd.rd

miniroot{:--:}OSrev.fs image.

-To prepare for installing via a tape:
-
- To install OpenBSD from a tape, you need to somehow
- get the OpenBSD filesets you wish to install on
- your system on to the appropriate kind of tape,
- in tar format.
-
- If you're making the tape on a UN*X system, the easiest
- way to do so is:
-
- tar cvf <tape_device> <files>
-
- where "<tape_device>" is the name of the tape device
- that describes the tape drive you're using (possibly
- something like /dev/nrst0, but we make no guarantees 8-).
- If you can't figure it out, ask your system administrator.
- "<files>" are the names of the "set_name{:--:}OSrev.tgz" files
- which you want to be placed on the tape.
-
- Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
- step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
-To prepare for installing via NFS:
+OpenBSDXferShortPrelude
- Place the OpenBSD software you wish to install into
- a directory on an NFS server, and make that directory
- mountable by the machine which you will be installing
- OpenBSD on. This will probably require modifying the
- /etc/exports file of the NFS server and resetting
- mountd, acts which will require superuser privileges.
- Note the numeric IP address of the NFS server and of
- the router closest to the new OpenBSD machine,
- if the NFS server is not on a network which is
- directly attached to the OpenBSD machine.
-
- Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
- step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
-
-To prepare for installing via FTP/HTTP:
-
- The preparations for this method of installation
- are easy: all you have to do is make sure that
- there's some FTP- or website from which you can
- retrieve the OpenBSD installation when it's time to
- do the install. You should know the numeric IP
- address of that site, and the numeric IP address of
- your nearest router if one is necessary
-
- Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
- step in the installation process, preparing your hard disk.
-If you are upgrading OpenBSD, you also have the option of installing
-OpenBSD by putting the new distribution sets somewhere in your existing
-file system, and using them from there. To do that, you must do the
-following:
+OpenBSDXferBareTape(xbase xfont xserv xshare)
- Place the distribution sets you wish to upgrade somewhere in
- your current file system tree. At a bare minimum, you must
- upgrade the "base" binary distribution, and so must put the
- "base{:--:}OSrev.tgz" set somewhere in your file system. If you wish,
- you can do the other sets, as well, but you should NOT upgrade
- the "etc" distribution; the "etc" distribution contains system
- configuration files that you should review and update by hand.
+OpenBSDXferNFS
- Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next step in
- the upgrade process, actually upgrading your system.
