dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.11 2014/07/13 18:08:16 jasper Exp $ OpenBSDInstallPrelude Booting the installation media: There are two ways to load an OpenBSD/MACHINE kernel (or ramdisk), over TFTP or from the internal CompactFlash storage. For TFTP you will first need to setup a TFTP server as described in diskless(8). Assuming tftpd(8) chroots into /tftpboot, copy bsd.rd into that directory. Power on your OpenBSD/MACHINE device and from the U-Boot prompt set up networking. In this example it is assumed you have a DHCP server in your network: # dhcp If you don't have a DHCP server, you need to set the ipaddr U-Boot environment variable: # setenv ipaddr Now set the IP address of your TFTP server: # setenv serverip The ramdisk kernel needs to be loaded into memory. If you use "0" as the address, the default address location will be used by U-Boot: # tftpboot 0 bsd.rd Using octeth0 device TFTP from server 192.168.178.30; our IP address is 192.168.178.89 Filename 'bsd.rd'. Load address: 0x9f00000 Loading: ######################### done Bytes transferred = 7191474 (6dbbb2 hex), 8617 Kbytes/sec Now the kernel can be booted from the default memory location, with no arguments provided: # bootoctlinux OpenBSD/MACHINE currently lacks a real bootloader. It is possible however to boot into bsd upon powering on the machine. From the U-Boot commandline, make a copy of the current ${bootcmd} so you can restore it later if needed: # setenv old_bootcmd ${bootcmd} ${bootcmd} is run by U-Boot when ${autoload} is enabled. Now create a new ${bootcmd} which will load an ELF file called 'bsd' from the first active FAT partition on the first CF card (created by the installer) and save the environment to persistent storage: # setenv bootcmd 'fatload ide 0:1 ${loadaddr} bsd;bootoctlinux rootdev=/dev/octcf0' # setenv bootdelay 5 # saveenv Saving Environment to Flash...

The current MBR partitions defined will be displayed and you will be allowed to modify them, and add new partitions. The setup will need two partitions, one 'OpenBSD' for the OpenBSD/MACHINE installation, and one 'MSDOS' for the U-Boot scripts/bootloader. If you use the whole disk option, the install script will create a small 'MSDOS' partition and use the rest of the disk for the OpenBSD installation. After your OpenBSD MBR partition has been setup, the real partition setup can follow.
