dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.6 2005/03/18 23:40:35 miod Exp $
OpenBSDInstallPrelude
If OpenBSD will be sharing the disk with another operating system,
you should have already completed the section of these notes that
instructed you on how to prepare your hard disk. You should know
the size of the OpenBSD area of the disk and its offset from the
beginning of the disk. You will need this information when setting up
your OpenBSD partitions. If your BIOS uses translated geometry, you
should use this geometry for the remainder of the install. This is
only necessary if you are sharing the disk with other operating systems
that use the translated geometry.
There are several ways to install OpenBSD onto a disk. The easiest way,
should your computer support it, is to boot off the OpenBSD CD-ROM, or
off the bootable CD-ROM mini image. Otherwise, you can boot from a 3.5"
1.44MB floppy disk if your machine has a floppy drive. If your machine
supports PXE network boots, you could try to configure a server for a
network install.
OpenBSDInstallPart2
If you are using CD-ROM or floppy media, ensure the disk is in
the drive before starting.
Reboot the computer to begin the install. You might have to play
with your BIOS options to get the computer to boot from the
correct installation media (floppy, CD, or network/PXE) rather
than from the hard disk.
If you are installing across the network with PXE, you will need
to tell pxeboot to get the bsd.rd install kernel:
boot> boot bsd.rd
It can take a while to load the kernel from a floppy, slow speed
CD-ROM drive, or across a network, most likely more than a minute.
If some action doesn't eventually happen, or the spinning cursor
has stopped and nothing further has happened, either your boot
floppy is bad or you are having hardware problems. If trying
another floppy disk doesn't help, try booting after disabling your
CPU's internal and external caches (if any). If it still doesn't
work, OpenBSD probably can't be run on your hardware. This can
probably be considered a bug, so you might want to report it. If
you do, please {:-include-:} as many details about your system
configuration as you can.
OpenBSDBootMsgs
You will next be asked for your terminal type. You should just
hit return to select the default (vt220).
OpenBSDInstallPart3({:- or "wd0" for IDE/RLL/ESDI/ST506 drives-:})
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 DOS or 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.
