I need people to look at them and add/change things as it apply to their machines... It's far from finished - more or less just copied from the pmax dir... More will come. --- distrib/notes/arc/prep | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+) create mode 100644 distrib/notes/arc/prep (limited to 'distrib/notes/arc/prep') diff --git a/distrib/notes/arc/prep b/distrib/notes/arc/prep new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..ebbf1269ff5 --- /dev/null +++ b/distrib/notes/arc/prep @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ +Before you start you should familiarize yourself with the BIOS setup +and how to run programs from the BIOS screen. + +You should also examine the guide on the OpenBSD/arc web site, which +will hopefully soon have more complete and more up-to-date +instructions than are given in the install document. + +If you're installing OpenBSD/arc for the first time it's a very good idea +to look at the partition sizes of disk you intend installing OpenBSD on. +Changing the size of partitions after you've installed is difficult. +If you do not have a spare bootable disk, it may be simpler to re-install +OpenBSD again from scratch. + +Asumming a classic partition scheme with root (`/') and /usr filesystems, +a comfortable size for the OpenBSD root filesystem partition is about 32M. +Hovever it has shown that 64M is not a bad choise when more packages are +to be installed.

A minimum +size of 350M is recommended. A full binary installation, without X11 or +other additional software, takes about 130MB in `/usr'. -- cgit v1.2.3
