- 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:
- Local FFS partitions
+ CD-ROM
+ FFS partitions
Tape
Remote NFS partition
- CD-ROM
FTP
HTTP
-Obviously, the steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets for
-installation or upgrade depend on which installation medium you
-choose. The steps for the various media types are outlined below.
-
-To install or upgrade OpenBSD using a tape, you need to do the
-following:
-
- To install OpenBSD from a tape, you need to make a tape that
- contains the distribution set files, in "tar" format. If
- you're making the tape on a UN*X-like system, the easiest way
- to do so is probably something like:
-
- tar cf <tape_device> <dist_directories>
-
- where "<tape_device>" is the name of the tape device that
- describes the tape drive you're using (possibly /dev/rst0, or
- something similar, but it will vary from system to system.
- (If you can't figure it out, ask your system administrator.)
- In the above example, "<dist_directories>" are the
- distribution sets' directories, for the distribution sets you
- wish to place on the tape. For instance, to put the "base{:--:}OSrev"
- and "etc{:--:}OSrev" distributions on tape (in order to do the absolute
- minimum installation to a new disk), you would do the
- following:
-
- cd .../OSREV # the top of the tree
- cd hp300
- tar cf <tape_device> base{:--:}OSrev.tgz etc{:--:}OSrev.tgz
-
- (Note that you still need to fill in "<tape_device>" in the
- example.)
-
- Once you have the files on the tape, you can proceed to the
- next step in the installation or upgrade process. If you're
- installing OpenBSD from scratch, go to the section on preparing
- your hard disk, below. If you're upgrading an existing
- installation, go directly to the section on upgrading.
-
-To install or upgrade OpenBSD using a remote partition, mounted via
-NFS, you must do the following:
-
- NOTE: This method of installation is recommended only for
- those already familiar with using BSD network
- configuration and management commands. If you aren't,
- this documentation should help, but is not intended to
- be all-encompassing.
-
- Place the OpenBSD distribution sets you wish to install into a
- directory on an NFS server, and make that directory mountable
- by the machine on which you are installing or upgrading OpenBSD.
- This will probably require modifying the /etc/exports file
- of the NFS server and resetting its mount daemon (mountd).
- (Both of these actions will probably require superuser
- privileges on the server.)
-
- You need to know the numeric IP address of the NFS server,
- and, if the server is not on a network directly connected to
- the machine on which you're installing or upgrading OpenBSD,
- you need to know the numeric IP address of the router closest
- to the OpenBSD machine. Finally, you need to know the numeric
- IP address of the OpenBSD machine itself.
+OpenBSDXferShortPrelude
- Once the NFS server is set up properly and you have the
- information mentioned above, you can proceed to the next step
- in the installation or upgrade process. If you're installing
- OpenBSD from scratch, go to the section on preparing your hard
- disk, below. If you're upgrading an existing installation, go
- directly to the section on upgrading.
-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" 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.
