+ - the single floppy or miniroot install script

-you have to respond to prompts from the install script(s). The next two
-sections describe the path through the "new" and "old" install scripts,

-About the "new" and "old" Install Scripts:
-
-The OpenBSD/sparc floppies come in two varieties, a newer single floppy
-"ramdisk" version and the older multi-floppy set. Both accomplish the
-same thing, but the install/upgrade scripts and procedures are quite
-different between the old and new version.
-
-The other difference between the the two forms are in their bootblocks,
-and filesystems. The "floppy{:--:}OSrev.fs" image is the compressed ramdisk form,
-the "kc{:--:}OSrev.fs" paired with either "inst{:--:}OSrev.fs" or "upgr{:--:}OSrev.fs" comprise a
-bootable kernel floppy and associated install/upgrade filesystem floppy.
-
-The CD-ROM, miniroot and netboot install scripts are essentially the
-same as the new single floppy install script.

-If you are upgrading a OpenBSD installation, start the upgrade script:
-
-OpenBSD# sh upgrade.sh
-
-else, start the installation script:
-
-OpenBSD# sh install.sh

-These scripts will do most of the work of transferring the system from the
-tar files onto your disk. You will frequently be asked for confirmation
-before the script proceeds with each phase of the installation process.
-Occasionally, you'll have to provide a piece of information such as the
-name of the disk you want to install on or IP addresses and domain names
-you want to assign. If your system has more than one disk, you may want
-to look at the output of the dmesg(8) command to see how your disks
-have been identified by the kernel.
-
-The installation script goes through the following phases:
-
- - determination of the disk to install OpenBSD on
- - checking of the partition information on the disk
- - creating and mounting the OpenBSD filesystems
- - setup of IP configuration
- - extraction of the distribution tar files
- - installation of boot programs
