Installation is supported from several media types, including:
NFS partitions
FTP
CD-ROM
The steps necessary to prepare the distribution sets
for installation depend on which method of installation
you choose. The various methods are explained below.
To prepare for installing via an NFS partition:
Place the OpenBSD software you wish to install into
a directory on an NFS server, and make that directory
mountable by the machine which you will be installing
OpenBSD on. This will probably require modifying the
/etc/exports file of the NFS server and resetting
mountd, acts which will require superuser privileges.
Note the numeric IP address of the NFS server and of
the router closest to the the new OpenBSD machine,
if the NFS server is not on a network which is
directly attached to the OpenBSD machine.
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your
system for OpenBSD installation.
To prepare for installing via FTP:
NOTE: this method of installation is recommended
only for those already familiar with using
the BSD network-manipulation commands and
interfaces. If you aren't, this documentation
should help, but is not intended to be
all-encompassing.
The preparations for this method of installation
are easy: all you have to do is make sure that
there's some FTP site from which you can retrieve
the OpenBSD installation when it's time to do
the install. You should know the numeric IP
address of that site, the numeric IP address of
your nearest router if one is necessary
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your
system for OpenBSD installation.
To prepare for installing via a CD-ROM:
To install OpenBSD from a CD-ROM, you simply need to
install the CD rom in the cdrom reader and follow the
instructions.
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next
step in the installation process, preparing your
system for OpenBSD installation.
