The easiest way +in terms of preliminary setup is to use the OpenBSD ramdisk kernel that +can be booted via BOOTP. Booting from CD is not yet supported. + + +Installing using the OpenBSD ramdisk kernel. + +The ramdisk kernel is a self-contained OpenBSD filesystem including all +utilities necessary to install OpenBSD on a local disk, embedded in a +GENERIC kernel image. It is distributed as a plain ELF executable file +designed to be loaded into the system by the ARCS firmware. + +Booting the ramdisk kernel can be done from the ARCS graphic console +although it might be more convenient to use the serial console since +the kernel currently only supports the serial console. Some systems +come with the serial console but sometimes this must be changed. + +To change to serial console, go into the ARCS Maintenance console. When +the system starts up, press the ESC key or use the the mouse and click +the STOP FOR MAINTENANCE button. Once in the System maintenance meny, +select '5' to go into the Command monitor. + +To switch the console to serial mode, change the console nvironment +variable: + +> setenv console d + +and reboot the system. A serial console at 9600B8N1 and nno flow control +should be attached to the serial port marked (1). + +When the message: + To perform system maintenance instead, press <Esc> +is displayed, press the ESCAPE key to get into maintenance mode. Again, +select '5' to get to the Command monitor. + +To be able to boot, a bootp/dhcpd server needs to be set up. To find out +the ethernet address for your system, use the 'printenv' command from the +Command monitor. See the value of the eaddr variable. See the dhcpd(8) +man page for information on how to set up the dhcp server to respond to +a bootp client. + +Loading the ramdisk kernel into your system is done with the appropriate +ARCS boot command on Your system. Usually this is done by typing in the +following string at the ARCS prompt: + + bootp()/bsd.rd + +to boot from Your TFTP server. + +This will cause the ramdisk kernel to be booted. After the initial probe +messages you'll will see the question: + +TBD. + +The script 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. + +The installation script goes through the following phases: + + - determination of the disk to install OpenBSD on + - checking of the OpenBSD partition information on the disk + - creating and mounting the OpenBSD filesystems + - setup of IP configuration + - extraction of the distribution tar files + - installation of kernel and the bootable kernel + +The installation program will guide you through the installation. There is +one area of complexity that you should be careful about and that is to +correctly answer the question about the disks previous history.
