dnl XXX document mopbooting from the SRM console.
dnl XXX check if recent SRM console still can netboot, and if so, if they
dnl XXX still use mop or a more recent protocol.
There are several ways to install OpenBSD onto a disk. The easiest way is
to boot from the bootable CD-ROM mini image, then install from your favorite
source. You can also use one of the OpenBSD installation floppies, if your
machine has a floppy drive.
Booting from Floppy Disk installation media:
At the SRM console prompt, enter
boot dva0
You should see info about the primary and secondary boot
and then the kernel should start to load. It will take a
while to load the kernel from the floppy, most likely more
than a minute. If some action doesn't eventually happen,
or the spinning cursor has stopped and nothing further has
happened, or the machine spontaneously reboots, then either
you have a bad boot floppy (in which case you should try
another) or your alpha is not currently supported by OpenBSD.
Booting from CD-ROM installation media:
At the SRM console prompt, enter
show device
to find the device ID of your CD-ROM drive (the device ID is
usually in the second column (``bootdev'') and should start
with DKA for a SCSI CD-ROM drive). If your drive shows up with
a drive number with trailing zeros, you will want to ignore them
(unless it is DKA0). For example, if your CD-ROM drive is listed
as DKA600, you want to use dka6 (device ID's are case
insensitive).
On all MACHINE computers but the TURBOchannel DEC 3000 series,
insert the OpenBSD/MACHINE CD-ROM and enter
boot -fi OSREV/MACHINE/bsd.rd DEVICE
where DEVICE is the dka device name.
On the DEC 3000 series, insert the OpenBSD/MACHINE CD-ROM and enter
boot -fi ALPHA DEVICE
where DEVICE is the dka device name.
Note that, in both cases, the argument order is important.
You should see info about the primary and secondary boot
and then the kernel should start to load. If the kernel
fails to load or the spinning cursor has stopped and nothing
further has happened, you either have a hardware problem or
your MACHINE is not currently supported by OpenBSD; try booting
from a floppy instead if possible.
Installing using the Floppy or CD-ROM procedure:
OpenBSDInstallPart2
Boot your machine from the installation media as described above.
OpenBSDBootMsgs
You will next be asked for your terminal type. If you are
installing from a non-serial console, the default of "vt220"
is correct. If you are installing from a serial console
you should choose the terminal type from amongst those listed.
(If your terminal type is xterm, just use vt220).
