dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.7 2007/03/01 19:24:45 miod Exp $ OpenBSDInstallPrelude There are several ways to install OpenBSD onto a disk. The easiest way is to burn bsd.rd on a CD-ROM, and boot off it. However, the ABLE firmware is versatile and will boot from a variety of devices and filesystems. Booting from CD-ROM installation media: At the ABLE firmware prompt, enter : > (cd0)bsd.rd to boot from the first detected CD-ROM drive. If the CD-ROM drive has not been detected, be sure to put a disk in the tray, and reset the machine. OpenBSDInstallPart2 OpenBSDBootMsgs(,"wd0") You will next be asked for your terminal type. You should just hit return to select the default (vt220). OpenBSDInstallPart3 Next you will have to edit or create a disk label for the disk OpenBSD is being installed on. If there are any existing partitions defined (for any operating system), and a disk label is not found, you will first be given an opportunity to run fdisk and create an OpenBSD partition. If fdisk is being invoked on your behalf, it will start by displaying the current partitions defined and then allow you to modify this information, add new partitions and change which partition to boot from by default. If you make a mistake, you will be allowed to repeat this procedure as necessary to correct this. Note that you should make OpenBSD be the active partition at least until the install has been completed. OpenBSDInstallPart4({:- If you have Linux partitions defined on the disk, these will usually show up as partition 'h', 'i' and so on.-:}) Note that all OpenBSD partitions in the disk label must have an offset that makes it start within the OpenBSD part of the disk, and a size that keeps it inside of that portion of the disk. This is within the bounds of the 'c' partition if the disk is not being shared with other operating systems, and within the OpenBSD fdisk partition if the disk is being shared.
