+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.
+
+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.
+
+OpenBSDInstallPart2

+ XXX
+ Booting with ABLE
+

+ Cyclone firmware not supported.

+
+ You will next be asked for your terminal type. You should just
+ hit return to select the default (vt220).
+
+OpenBSDInstallPart3({:- or "wd0" for IDE 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.

+To be able to boot the OpenBSD/MACHINE installation program, you will
+need to acquire some limited knowledge of ABLE Firmware, the low-level
+process that controls the microprocessor after hardware initialization
+and diagnostics are performed but before control is handed to the
+operating system.
+
+Important ABLE Firmware command examples:

+ boot the ELF file 'bsd' from the disk partition idenfied
