OpenBSDInstallPrelude
Booting the installation media:
The easiest way to boot into the OpenBSD installer is to copy the bsd.rd
installation kernel to the main Linux partition, and boot from it.
Assuming the installation kernel has been copied to /boot/bsd.rd on the
Linux system, at the PMON prompt, enter
PMON> boot /dev/fs/ext2@wd0/boot/bsd.rd
on Lemote systems, and
PMON> load /dev/fs/ext2@usbg0/boot/bsd.rd
PMON> g
on Gdium systems, to boot the installation kernel.
dnl
dnl Alternatively, if your particular PMON flavour supports `fat' filesystems,
dnl you can boot the kernel from an usb key with:
dnl
dnl PMON> boot /dev/fs/fat@usb0:/bsd.rd
Netbooting the installation kernel can be done as well:
PMON> ifaddr rtl0 <your ip>
PMON> boot tftp://<server ip>/bsd.rd
(on Gdium systems, use a `load' command followed by `g' instead of `boot').

dnl not until we have boot blocks... and then we'll probably need to
dnl add text to mention the necessary little boot partition...
dnl OpenBSDInstallMBRPart2
The fdisk(8) utility will be invoked to let you edit your MBR
partitioning. The current MBR partitions defined will be
displayed and you will be allowed to modify them, and add new
partitions.
After your OpenBSD MBR partition has been setup, the real
partition setup can follow.

If you have left Linux partitions defined on the disk, these will
usually show up as partition 'i', 'j' and so on.-:})

OpenBSDInstallWrapup
As the OpenBSD/MACHINE port is very new, there is not yet a proper
bootloader. In addition to these steps, you will need, for the time
being, to copy the kernel image to the Linux partition and boot
from it. This annoyance is being worked on and should disappear
very soon.
Lemote systems final steps:
Lemote systems ship with a boot menu. After the installation
is complete, you should add an OpenBSD entry to the boot menu
to be able to boot OpenBSD more easily.
The boot menu contents are found in /boot/boot.cfg on the Linux
partition. To add an OpenBSD entry, simply add a new entry in
the file, such as:
title OpenBSD
kernel /dev/fs/ext2@wd0/boot/bsd
args ""
In the example above, /dev/fs/ext2@wd0/boot/bsd is the PMON
path to the kernel image.
You may make OpenBSD the default option by changing the
``default'' line near the top of the file. The value on this
line is the index of the default entry, starting at zero. So
if you added the OpenBSD entry as the fourth entry in the
file, it would become the default choice with:
default 3
The timeout until the default choice is selected, in seconds,
can be modified on the ``timeout'' line.
Note that using the boot menu currently disables root device
discovery and kernel symbol loading. Therefore it may be
more convenient to switch to the PMON prompt using 'c' and
boot with the command
PMON> boot -k $bsd
after having set the bsd variable to your boot path:
PMON> set bsd /dev/fs/ext2@wd0/boot/bsd
Gdium systems final steps:
Gdium systems do not have a boot menu, and directly boot the
system (Linux, by default).
The path to the file booted by default is set in the `al'
environment variable. To boot the bsd kernel on the G-Key
by default, assuming it has been copied to /boot on the first
ext3 partition, you can change it to:
PMON> set al /dev/fs/ext2@usbg0/boot/bsd
Alternatively, you can disable autoboot by removing this
variable:
PMON> unset al
