Just read the install notes; this is woefully out of date anyway.

-
-Initial test versions of a OpenBSD/sparc binaries install are available
-at
- ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/sparc
-Some mirror sites may take a day or two to catch up.
-
-The OpenBSD/sparc port runs on sun4c class machines, ie. the SS 1, 1+,
-2, IPC, IPX, SLC, and ELC. It works on most sun4m machines. It also runs
-on most models of the sun4 line (however, not on the 4/400, 4/600).
-
-The ftp directory contains a number of very large .tar.gz files in there,
-as well as this document and a helper install script.
-
-NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY CHANGE WITH EACH SNAPSHOT.
-
-Until there are better instructions written, here's a rough idea:
-
-1. format and partition the disk using sunos. yup, OpenBSD/sparc uses
- sunos disk labels. i am running a quantum 105 with these partition
- sizes:
- a: 28140 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 133)
- b: 16170 28140 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 134 - 210)
- c: 204540 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 973)
- g: 160230 44310 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 211 - 973)
-
- Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
- /dev/sd0a 26090 18846 4634 80% /
- /dev/sd0g 149444 131496 3002 98% /usr
- amd:43 0 0 0 100% /home
- gecko:/usr/src 1549722 851783 542966 61% /usr/src
- komodo:/usr/local 269346 243428 -1016 100% /usr/local
- newt:/newt.usera 1128328 836910 178584 82% /tmp_mnt/newt/newt.usera
-
-2. newfs it using sunos. yup, the filesystem format is identical.
- UFS hasn't changed much over the years. (If you can, there is
- a performance benefit from newfs'ing using OpenBSD.)
-
- If you newfs using the OpenBSD newfs command, be sure to use -O
- to specify the `4.3BSD filesystem format' for your / partition,
- otherwise you will not be able to boot. The SunOS boot blocks do
- not understand the extended 4.4 filesystem format.
-
-3. put a SunOS /boot program in the root partition, and use
- "installboot" to cause it to work. the "installboot" man page
- says to do something like this: say you are running SunOS, and
- the drive you are installing OpenBSD/sparc on is currently at
- /dev/sd1. You have made the filesystems on that drive already.
- # mount /dev/sd1a /mnt
- # cp /boot /mnt/boot
- # /usr/mdec/installboot -vlt /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/bootsd /dev/rsd1a
-
-4. extract the provided *.tar.gz files onto the disk. the file
- "install.sh" will help you do this.
-
- mount your partition(s) in a proper tree starting at /mnt. In the
- same directory as your *.tar.gz files are, run "./install.sh".
- (Now you may cut the head off the chicken and spray the blood over
- your walls and ceiling. :-)
-
-5. copy /mnt/etc/fstab.sd to /mnt/etc/fstab and edit to match your
- disk layout.
-
-6. the install script copies the kernel called "bsd.scsi3" to
- /mnt/bsd. Two sample kernels are supplied: "bsd" and
- "bsd.scsi3".
-
- Unlike SunOS and the ROM, OpenBSD numbers scsi drives sequentially
- as it finds them. The drive with the lowest scsi-id will be called
- sd0. SunOS and the ROM map normally map sd0 to scsi-id 3. Thus, if
- you have two drives, it's quite likely that OpenBSD will disagree with
- the ROM.
-
- The "bsd.scsi3" kernel gets around this problem, by hard-wiring
- scsi-id#3 to sd0. The remaining drives will be dynamically mapped
- to other sd* numbers. If you have more than one drive you will
- want to use this kernel.
-
- the "bsd" kernel expects your root drive to be at the standard
- SunOS sd0==scsi-id#3 location. If you have a second drive at any
- of scsi-id's 0, 1, or 2, this kernel will NOT work for you. If you
- know what you are doing, you could use this kernel.
-
-7. your ROM may need some setup. make sure you boot from `new command mode'.
- If your machine comes up and gives you a `>' prompt instead of `ok', type:
- >n
- ok setenv sunmon-compat? false
- ok
- this is needed because bsd cannot handle the old-mode yet,
- and will firework on you.
-
- you cannot use the security modes of the sparc ROM. sorry, same
- problem as above.
- ok setenv security-mode none
-
-8. if needed, swap your scsi id's. now try a reboot. initially I'd
- suggest you boot "-bs", then try multiuser after that. if you boot
- single-user the bsd incantation for making root read-write
- is "mount -u /dev/sd0a /". alternatively, the command reboot is
- found in /sbin.
-
-9. to boot from bsd by default, tell something like this to your
- ROM.
- >n
- ok setenv boot-from sd(0,0,0)bsd
- ok
-
-please let me know of any errors in these instructions or in the
-archives. if so i'll correct them.
-
-good luck.
