dnl ========== Various Install Instructions
dnl (usually used by arch/install)
dnl
dnl Short or longer installation introduction. The longer version warns
dnl about disk geometry hell.
define({:-OpenBSDInstallShortPrelude-:},
{:-Installing OpenBSD is a relatively complex process, but if you have
this document in hand and are careful to read and remember the
information which is presented to you by the install program, it
shouldn't be too much trouble.-:})dnl
dnl
define({:-OpenBSDInstallPrelude-:},
{:-OpenBSDInstallShortPrelude

Before you begin, you should know the geometry of your hard disk, i.e.
the sector size (note that sector sizes other than 512 bytes are not
currently supported), the number of sectors per track, the number of
tracks per cylinder (also known as the number of heads), and the
number of cylinders on the disk.  The OpenBSD kernel will try to
discover these parameters on its own, and if it can it will print them
at boot time.  If possible, you should use the parameters it prints.
(You might not be able to because you're sharing your disk with
another operating system, or because your disk is old enough that the
kernel can't figure out its geometry.)-:})dnl
dnl
dnl OpenBSDInstallPart2
dnl Describes the beginning of the installation process, once the
dnl installation media is ready.
define({:-OpenBSDInstallPart2-:},
{:-You should now be ready to install OpenBSD.

The following is a walk-through of the steps you will take while
getting OpenBSD installed on your hard disk.  If any question has a
default answer, it will be displayed in brackets ("[]") after the
question.  If you wish to stop the installation, you may hit Control-C
at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the installation
process again from scratch.  Using Control-Z to suspend the process
may be a better option, or at any prompt enter '!' to get a shell,
from which 'exit' will return you back to that prompt (no refresh
of the prompt though).-:})dnl
dnl
dnl OpenBSDBootMsgs
dnl Describes the boot of the ramdisk.
define({:-OpenBSDBootMsgs-:},
{:-	Once the kernel has loaded, you will be presented with the
	OpenBSD kernel boot messages.  You will want to read them
	to determine your disk's name and geometry.  Its name will
	be something like "sd0" or "wd0" and the geometry will be
	printed on a line that begins with its name.  As mentioned
	above, you will need your disk's geometry when creating
	OpenBSD partitions.  You will also need to know the device
	name to tell the install tools what disk to install on. If
	you cannot read the messages as they scroll by, do not
	worry -- you can get at this information later inside the
	install program.-:})dnl
dnl
dnl OpenBSDInstallPart3(alternate common disk type description)
dnl Describes the beginning of the bsd.rd operation
dnl
define({:-OpenBSDInstallPart3-:},
{:-	After entering the terminal type you will be asked whether you
	wish to do an "(I)nstall" or an "(U)pgrade".  Enter 'I' for a
	fresh install or 'U' to upgrade an existing installation.

	You will be presented with a welcome message and asked if
	you really wish to install (or upgrade).  Assuming you
	answered yes, the install program will then tell you which
	disks of that type it can install on, and ask you which it
	should use.  The name of the disk is typically "sd0" for
	SCSI drives$2.
	Reply with the name of your disk.-:})dnl
dnl
dnl OpenBSDInstallPart4(mention about other OS partitions)
dnl Describes the disklabel operation
dnl
define({:-OpenBSDInstallPart4-:},
{:-	Next the disk label which defines the layout of the OpenBSD
	file systems must be set up.  The installation script will
	invoke an interactive editor allowing you to do this.  Note
	that partition 'c' inside this disk label should ALWAYS
	reflect the entire disk, including any non-OpenBSD portions.
	If you are labeling a new disk, you will probably start
	out with an 'a' partition that spans the disk.  In this
	case you should delete 'a' before adding new partitions.
	The root file system should be in partition 'a', and swap
	is usually in partition 'b'.$4

	It is recommended that you create separate partitions for /usr,
	/tmp and /var, and if you have room for it, one for /home.  In
	doing this, remember to skip 'c', leaving it as type "unused".
	For help in the disk label editor, enter '?' or 'M' to view the
	manual page (see the info on the ``-E'' flag).-:})dnl
dnl
dnl OpenBSDInstallPart5
dnl More disklabel notes(disk)
define({:-OpenBSDInstallPart5-:},
{:-	The swap partition (usually 'b') should have a type of "swap", all
	other native OpenBSD partitions should have a type of "4.2BSD".
	Block and fragment sizes are usually 8192 and 1024 bytes, but can
	also be 4096 and 512 or even 16384 and 2048 bytes.

	The install program will now label your disk and ask which file
	systems should be created on which partitions.  It will auto-
	matically select the 'a' partition to be the root file system.
	Next it will ask for which disk and partition you want a file
	system created on.  This will be the same as the disk name (e.g.
	"$1") with the letter identifying the partition (e.g. "d")
	appended (e.g. "$1d").  Then it will ask where this partition is
	to be mounted, e.g. /usr.  This process will be repeated until
	you enter "done".

	At this point you will be asked to confirm that the file system
	information you have entered is correct, and given an opportunity
	to change the file system table.  Next it will create the new file
	systems as specified, OVERWRITING ANY EXISTING DATA.  This is the
	point of no return.-:})dnl
dnl
dnl OpenBSDInstallNet(other installation sources,hasfloppy)
dnl Setting up the network
define({:-OpenBSDInstallNet-:},
{:-	After all your file systems have been created, the install program
	will give you an opportunity to configure the network.  The network
	configuration you enter (if any) can then be used to do the install
	from another system using HTTP or FTP, and will also be the
	configuration used by the system after the installation is complete.

	If you select to configure the network, the install program will
	ask you for a name of your system and the DNS domain name to use.
	Note that the host name should be without the domain part, and that
	the domain name should NOT {:-include-:} the host name part.

	Next the system will give you a list of network interfaces you can
	configure.  For each network interface you select to configure, it
	will ask for the IP address to use, the symbolic host name to use,
	the netmask to use and any interface-specific flags to set. The
	interface-specific flags are usually used to determine which media
	the network card is to use.  Typically no media flags are required
	as autodetection normally works, but you will be prompted with a
	list of the acceptable media flags, and asked if you want to provide
	any.  In doubt, do not enter any media flags; or you can refer to
	the manual page for your interface for the appropriate flags.

	After all network interfaces has been configured the install pro-
	gram will ask for a default route and IP address of the primary
	name server to use.  You will also be presented with an opportunity
	to edit the host table.

	At this point you will be allowed to edit the file system table
	that will be used for the remainder of the installation and that
	will be used by the finished system, following which the new file
	systems will be mounted to complete the installation.

        After these preparatory steps have been completed, you will be
        able to extract the distribution sets onto your system.  There
        are several install methods supported; FTP, HTTP, tape,
	$1or a local disk partition.

define({:-OpenBSDFTPInstall-:},
{:-	To install via FTP:
		To begin an FTP install you will need the following
		pieces of information.  Don't be daunted by this list;
		the defaults are sufficient for most people.
		    1) Proxy server URL if you are using a URL-based
		       ftp proxy (squid, CERN ftp, Apache 1.2 or higher).
		       You need to {:-define-:} a proxy if you are behind a
		       firewall that blocks outgoing ftp (assuming you
		       have a proxy available to use).
		    2) Do you need to use active mode ftp?  By default,
		       ftp will attempt to use passive mode and fall
		       back to an active connection if the server does
		       not support passive mode.  You only need to enable
		       this option if you are connecting to a buggy ftp
		       daemon that implements passive ftp incorrectly.
		       Note that you will not be asked about active
		       ftp if you are using a proxy.
		    3) The IP address (or hostname if you enabled
		       DNS earlier in the install) of an ftp server
		       carrying the OpenBSD OSREV distribution.
		       If you don't know, just hit return when
		       asked if you want to see a list of such hosts.
		    4) The ftp directory holding the distribution sets.
		       The default value of pub/OpenBSD/OSREV/MACHINE
		       is almost always correct.
		    5) The login and password for the ftp account.
		       You will only be asked for a password for
		       non-anonymous ftp.

		For instructions on how to complete the installation via
		ftp, see the section named "Common URL installations" below.-:})dnl
dnl
define({:-OpenBSDHTTPInstall-:},
{:-	To install via HTTP:
		To begin an HTTP install you will need the following
		pieces of information:
		    1) Proxy server URL if you are using a URL-based
		       http proxy (squid, CERN ftp, Apache 1.2 or higher).
		       You need to {:-define-:} a proxy if you are behind a
		       firewall that blocks outgoing http connections
		       (assuming you have a proxy available to use).

		       asked if you want to see a list of such hosts.
		    3) The directory holding the distribution sets.
		       There is no standard location for this;
		       You should use the directory specified
		       along with the server in the list of official
		       http mirror sites that you received in step 3.

		In order to install from tape, the distribution sets to be
		installed must have been written to tape previously, either
		in tar format or gzip-compressed tar format.

		You will also have to identify the tape device where the
		distribution sets are to be extracted from.  This will
		typically be "nrst0" (no-rewind, raw interface).

		Next you will have to provide the file number of the set
		that is to be extracted.  Note that the file number starts

		information before starting the extraction.-:})dnl
dnl
define({:-OpenBSDCDROMInstall-:},
{:-	To install from CD-ROM:
		When installing from a CD-ROM, you will be asked which
		device holds the distribution sets.  This will typically
		be "cd0".  Next you will be asked which partition on the
		CD-ROM the distribution is to be loaded from.  This is
		normally partition "a".

		Next you will have to identify the file system type that
		has been used to create the distribution on the CD-ROM,
		this can be either FFS or ISO CD9660.  The OpenBSD CD
		distribution uses the CD9660 format.

		You will also have to provide the relative path to the
		directory on the CD which holds the distribution, for the
		MACHINE this is "OSREV/MACHINE".

		For instructions on how to complete the installation from
		the CD-ROM distribution, see the section named "Common
		file system installations" below.-:})dnl

define({:-OpenBSDNFSInstall-:},
{:-	To install from a NFS mounted directory:
		When installing from a NFS-mounted directory, you must
		have completed network configuration above, and also
		set up the exported file system on the NFS server in
		advance.

		First you must identify the IP address of the NFS server
		to load the distribution from, and the file system the
		server expects you to mount.

		The install program will also ask whether or not TCP
		should be used for transport (the default is UDP).  Note
		that TCP only works with newer NFS servers.

		You will also have to provide the relative path to the
		directory on the file system where the distribution sets
		are located.  Note that this path should not be prefixed

{:-Warning! Upgrades to OpenBSD OSREV are currently only supported from the
immediately previous release. The upgrade process will also work with older
releases, but might not execute some migration tasks that would be necessary
for a proper upgrade.  The best solution, whenever possible, is to backup
your data and reinstall from scratch.

To upgrade OpenBSD OSREV from a previous version, start with the general
instructions in the section "Installing OpenBSD".

Boot from $1.
When prompted, select the (U)pgrade option rather than the (I)nstall
option at the prompt in the install process.

The upgrade script will ask you for the existing root partition, and
will use the existing filesystems defined in /etc/fstab to install the
new system in.  It will also use your existing network parameters.

From then, the upgrade procedure is very close to the installation
procedure described earlier in this document.  Note that the upgrade
procedure will not let you pick the ``etc{:--:}OSrev.tgz'' set, so as to
preserve your files in `/etc' which you are likely to have customized
since a previous installation.

However, it is strongly advised that you unpack the etc{:--:}OSrev.tgz set in
a temporary directory and merge changes by hand, since all components of
your system may not function correctly until your files in `/etc' are
updated.-:})dnl

{:-Creating a bootable floppy disk using DOS/Windows:

	First you need to get access to the OpenBSD bootable floppy
	images. If you can access the distribution from the CD-ROM under
	DOS, you will find the bootable disks in the OSREV/MACHINE
	directory. Otherwise, you will have to download them from one of
	the OpenBSD ftp or http mirror sites, using an ftp client or a web
	browser. In either case, take care to do "binary" transfers, since
	these are images files and any DOS cr/lf translations or control/z
	EOF interpretations will result in corrupted transfers.
	
	You will also need to go to the "tools" directory and grab a
	copy of the rawrite.exe utility and its documentation.  This
	program is needed to correctly copy the bootable filesystem
	image to the floppy, since it's an image of a unix partition
	containing a ffs filesystem, not a MSDOS format diskette.

	Once you have installed rawrite.exe, just run it and specify the
	name of the bootable image, such as "floppy{:--:}OSrev.fs" and the name of
	the floppy drive, such as "a:".  Be sure to use good quality HD
	(1.44MB) floppies, formatted on the system you're using.  The
	image copy and boot process is not especially tolerant of read
	errors.

	Note that if you are using NT, 2000, or XP to write the
	images to disk, you will need to use ntrw.exe instead.  It
	is also available in the "tools" directory.  Grab it and
	run in with the correct arguments like this "ntrw <image>
	<drive>:"

	Note that, when installing, the boot floppy can be write-protected

define({:-OpenBSDXferFloppyFromUNIX-:},
{:-Creating a bootable floppy disk using SunOS, Solaris or other Un*x-like system:

	First, you will need obtain a local copy of the bootable filesystem
	image as described above.  If possible use the cksum(1) or md5(1)
	commands to verify the checksums of the images vs. the values in
	the CKSUM or MD5 files on the mirror site.

	Next, use the dd(1) utility to copy the file to the floppy drive.
	The command would likely be, under SunOS:
		dd if=floppy{:--:}OSrev.fs of=/dev/rfd0c bs=36b
	and, under Solaris:
		dd if=floppy{:--:}OSrev.fs of=/dev/rdiskette0 bs=36b
	unless the volume management daemon, vold(1M), is running, in
	which case the following command is preferable:
		dd if=floppy{:--:}OSrev.fs of=/vol/dev/rdiskette0 bs=36b

	If you are using another operating system, you may have to adapt
	this to conform to local naming conventions for the floppy and
	options suitable for copying to a "raw" floppy image.  The key
	issue is that the device name used for the floppy *must* be one
	that refers to the correct block device, not a partition or
	compatibility mode, and the copy command needs to be compatible
	with the requirement that writes to a raw device must be in
	multiples of 512-byte blocks.  The variations are endless and
	beyond the scope of this document.

	If you're doing this on the system you intend to boot the floppy on,
	copying the floppy back to a file and doing a compare or checksum
	is a good way to verify that the floppy is readable and free of
	read/write errors.

{:-Creating an installation tape:

	While you won't be able to boot OpenBSD from a tape, you can use
	one to provide the installation sets.  To do so, you need to make
	a tape that contains the distribution set files, each in "tar"
	format or in "gzipped tar format".  First you will need to
	transfer the distribution sets to your local system, using ftp or
	by mounting the CD-ROM containing the release.  Then you need to
	make a tape containing the files.

	If you're making the tape on a UN*X-like system, the easiest way
	to do so is make a shell script along the following lines, call it
	"/tmp/maketape".

	variable.  For example, under Solaris, you would probably run:
