These installation instruction were so out of date that they were
worse than useless.

-the boot from the floppy.
-ok boot ofdisk0:\boot.ppc
-
-Before installing on the harddrive, first a DOS partition needs
-to be created.
-fat-partition hdiskX 1
-This will create a 1 MB dos partition. This is necessary to
-boot, The boot loader will be copied here later.
-
-Now boot off of the boot (kc) floppy.
-ok boot ofdisk0:\boot.ppc -a
-Boot: ofdisk0:/bsd -s
-
-Note: it is necessary to use the -a option and specify
-ofdisk0 (devaliased above) to correctly mount the floppy
-root disk. Also the floppies are in ISO9660 format, so
-it is not possible to mount them read/write, MFS or the like will
-eventually be nessary.
-
-
-At the prompt to insert the filesystem disk,
---
-Please insert root disk and press ENTER
---
-put in the disk with the inst-20.fs image in the floppy.
-
-
-Using fdisk, create a disk partition of type 0xa6. (0xa6 may change)
-fdisk -u <drive>.
-Do not use the -i option, we do not want to replace the bootblock
-that openfirmware has put down, just modify the parition information.
-
-the "fat-parition 1 hdiskX" from before will have created a
-parition similar to this:
---
-MBR Partition 0: sysid 6=0x06 (Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
- start 1, size 2048 (1 MB), flag 0x80
- beg: cylinder 0, head 0, sector 0
- end: cylinder 0, head 0, sector 0

-
-sample disklabel output
---
---
-
-Make certain to leave that unmodified and as the active partition.
-That parition is currently used to hold the boot loader.
-
-I changed the labeling to have non 1 for heads and sectors/track.
-I am not certian if that is correct or wise.
-
-Modify one of the paritions (Use 3 for example)
-Create a partition with:
-sysid [166]
-start [2048*] "Should use sectors/cyl * n to get just greater than 2048."
-size [disk size - start]
-
-when the label is written back out to the disk these messages are normal:
---
-fdisk: DIOCWLABEL: Inappropriate ioctl for device
-fdisk: DIOCWLABEL: Inappropriate ioctl for device
---
-example fdisk output
---
-Using device /dev/rsd1c:
-Parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
- cylinders=8004 heads=8 sectors/track=16
- sectors/cylinder=128 total=1024512
-Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cylinder 1
-Parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
- cylinders=8004 heads=8 sectors/track=16
- sectors/cylinder=128
-WARNING: BIOS sector numbers start at 1 (not 0)
-MBR Partition 0: sysid 6=0x06 (Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
- start 1, size 2048 (1 MB), flag 0x80
- beg: cylinder 0, head 0, sector 0
- end: cylinder 0, head 0, sector 0
-MBR Partition 1: <UNUSED>
-MBR Partition 2: <UNUSED>
-MBR Partition 3: sysid 166=0xa6 (OpenBSD or BSD Big Endian)
- start 2176, size 1022336 (499 MB), flag 0x00
- beg: cylinder 17, head 0, sector 1
- end: cylinder 836, head 7, sector 16

-Now it is necessary to create a UNIX disklabel for the drive
-(Would be nice if /etc/disktab had some ready)
-
-The easiest way to do this currently is to take the output of
-disklabel sdX
-and cut and paste it on another machine to edit it into the desired
-disklabel.
-
-Then using a trick I found, cut and past the edited label back into
-the other machine after running the command
-disklabel -R sdX /dev/tty
-NEVER use the "-r" option
-Also make certain to check the label just written
-with "disklabel sdX"
-
-Note: only paste a few lines of the disklabel into the console
-at a time, Otherwise the input buffer can overflow and lose characters.
-
-Make certain to keep the partition 'd' around. The only
-change to possibly make to it would be make it's type MSDOS?
