+OpenBSDInstallPrelude
+
+There are several ways to install OpenBSD onto a disk. The easiest way
+in terms of preliminary setup is to use the OpenBSD ramdisk kernel, bsd.rd,
+which can be booted from tape, or an existing Mach partition.
+
+
+Booting from the Installation Media:
+
+Prior to attempting an installation, everything of value on the target
+system should be backed up.  While installing OpenBSD does not necessarily
+wipe out all the partitions on the hard disk, errors during the install
+process can have unforeseen consequences and will probably leave the system
+unbootable if the installation process is not completed. Availability
+of the installation media for the prior installation, such as a Luna-88K
+Mach tape, is always a good insurance, should it be necessary to "go back"
+for some reason.
+
+After taking care of all that, the system should be brought down gracefully
+using the shutdown(8) and/or halt(8) commands, which will eventually go
+back to the PROM prompt. Remember that the leftmost switch from the front
+panel DIP switch #1 must be down to access the PROM prompt.
+
+Booting from an installation tape:
+
+    The internal tape drive is usually configured as SCSI id #4. At the
+    prompt, enter
+
+      b st(0,0,0)
+
+    to boot the first file from the tape. If your tape drive uses a
+    different SCSI id, replace the middle number with the appropriate number
+    from the following table:
+
+      tape drive SCSI id:     0 1 2 3 4 5 6
+      middle number for st(): 4 3 2 1 0 6 5
+
+    If the tape drive is connected to the external SCSI controller, add 10 to
+    the middle number. For example, to boot from a tape drive with ID #5
+    connected to the external controller, enter:
+
+      b st(0,16,0)
+
+Booting from an existing partition:
+
+    At the prompt, enter
+
+      b sd(0,n,p) bsd.rd
+
+    to boot bsd.rd from the specified disk and partition. Replace 'p' with
+    the partition number (usually 0, for the 'a' partition), and 'n' with
+    the appropriate number from the following table:
+
+      disk drive SCSI id: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
+      value of 'n':       6 5 4 3 2 1 0
+
+    If the disk drive is connected to the external SCSI controller, add 10 to
+    this number. For example, to boot from a disk drive with ID #0 connected
+    to the external controller, enter:
+
+      b sd(0,16,0) bsd.rd
+
+
+Installing the system:
+
+OpenBSDInstallPart2
+
+	Boot your machine from the installation media as described above.
+
+	It will take a while to load the kernel especially from a slow
+	network connection, 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 media is bad, your
+	diskless setup isn't correct, or you may have a hardware or
+	configuration problem.
+
+OpenBSDBootMsgs
+
+	You will next be asked for your terminal type.  You should choose
+	the terminal type from amongst those listed.
+	(If your terminal type is xterm, just use vt100).
