(If your terminal type is xterm, just use vt100). - After entering the terminal type you will be asked whether you - wish to do an "(I)nstall" or an "(U)pgrade". Enter 'I' for a - fresh install or 'U' to upgrade an existing installation. - - You will be presented with a welcome message and asked if - you really want to continue. Assuming you answered yes, the - install program will then tell you which disks of that type - it can install on, and ask you which it should use. The name - of the disk is typically "sd0". Reply with the name of your disk. - - Next you will have to edit or create a disklabel for the disk - OpenBSD is being installed on. The installation script will - invoke the text editor allowing you to do this. Note that - partition 'c' inside this disk label should ALWAYS reflect the - entire disk, including any non-OpenBSD portions. The root file - system should be in partition 'a', and swap is usually in partition - 'b'. It is recommended that you create separate partitions for - root and /usr, you may also want to specify /var and /home - partitions. - - The swap partition (usually 'b') should have a type of "swap", all - other native OpenBSD partitions should have a type of "4.2BSD". - Block and fragment sizes are usually 8192 and 1024 bytes, but can - also be 16384 and 2048 bytes. - - The install program will now label your disk and ask which file - systems should be created on which partitions. It will auto- - matically select the 'a' partition to be the root file system. - Next it will ask for which disk and partition you want a file - system created on. This will be the same as the disk name (e.g. - "sd0") with the letter identifying the partition (e.g. "d") - appended (e.g. "sd0d"). Then it will ask where this partition is - to be mounted, e.g. /usr. This process will be repeated until - you type "done". - - At this point you will be asked to confirm that the file system - information you have entered is correct, and given an opportunity - to change the file system table. Next it will create the new file - systems as specified, OVERWRITING ANY EXISTING DATA. This is the - point of no return. - - After all your file systems have been created, the install program - will give you an opportunity to configure the network. The network - configuration you enter (if any) can then be used to do the install - from another system using NFS, HTTP or FTP, and will also be the - configuration used by the system after the installation is complete. - - If you select to configure the network, the install program will - ask you for a name of your system and the DNS domain name to use. - Note that the host name should be without the domain part, and that - the domain name should NOT {:-include-:} the host name part. - - Next the system will give you a list of network interfaces you can - configure. For each network interface you select to configure, it - will ask for the IP address to use, the symbolic host name to use, - the netmask to use and any media flags to set. - - After all network interfaces have been configured the install pro- - gram will ask for a default route and IP address of the primary - name server to use. You will also be presented with an opportunity - to edit the host table. - - At this point you will be allowed to edit the file system table - that will be used for the remainder of the installation and that - will be used by the finished system, following which the new file - systems will be mounted to complete the installation. - - After these preparatory steps have been completed, you will be - able to extract the distribution sets onto your system. There - are several install methods supported; FTP, HTTP, tape, CD-ROM, NFS - or a local disk partition.
