	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.

	The setup will need two partitions, one 'OpenBSD' for the
	OpenBSD/MACHINE installation, and one 'MSDOS' for the
	U-Boot scripts/bootloader.

	If you use the whole disk option, the install script
	will create a small 'MSDOS' partition and use the rest of
	the disk for the OpenBSD installation.

	After your OpenBSD MBR partition has been set up, the real
	partition setup can follow.

OpenBSDInstallWrapup

U-Boot has to be configured to load the OpenBSD/octeon bootloader.

From the U-Boot commandline, make a copy of the current ${bootcmd} so you can
restore it later if needed:

	# setenv old_bootcmd "${bootcmd}"

${bootcmd} is run by U-Boot when ${autoload} is enabled. Now create a new
${bootcmd} which will load an ELF file called 'boot' from the first active FAT
partition on the first CF card. The FAT partition has been created by the
installer.

	# setenv bootcmd 'fatload ide 0:1 ${loadaddr} boot;bootoctlinux rootdev=octcf0'
	# setenv bootdelay 5
	# saveenv
	Saving Environment to Flash...
	Un-Protected 1 sectors
	Erasing Flash...
	. done
	Erased 1 sectors
	Writing to Flash... .done
	Protected 1 sectors
	#

If you have installed onto SD/MMC, SATA or USB, use the following
bootcmd instead:

  fatload <bootdev> 0 ${loadaddr} boot; bootoctlinux rootdev=sd0

Replace ``<bootdev>'' with ``mmc'', ``sata'' or ``usb'' as appropriate.

For stable root disk selection, you can use the root disk's
disklabel(8) UID (DUID) as the value of the rootdev parameter.

On multi-core systems, the numcores parameter enables the secondary CPUs.
Use the total number of cores on your system as the value of the parameter.

  fatload usb 0 ${loadaddr} boot; bootoctlinux rootdev=sd0 numcores=2

On the EdgeRouter Lite, bootcmd may also reset the USB controller for
more reliable USB device detection:

  usb reset; fatload usb 0 ${loadaddr} boot; bootoctlinux rootdev=sd0 numcores=2

On some models, such as ER-6p, unattended boot from a USB disk will fail
if U-Boot attempts to verify the MD5 checksum of the file loaded by fatload:

  reading vmlinux.64.md5
  33 bytes read in 303 ms (0 Bytes/s)
  md5 checksum error.
  Octeon ubnt_e300(ram)#

At this point, the 'bootoctlinux' command can be used to boot manually.

The file 'vmlinux.64.md5' can be renamed from the running OpenBSD system.
In case of ER-6p, the file 'vmlinux.64.md5' resides on a FAT partition
of the internal MMC, which is accessible from OpenBSD via /dev/sd1i:

   # mount /dev/sd1i /mnt
   # mv /mnt/vmlinux.64.md5 /mnt/vmlinux.64.md5.unused
   # reboot

Unattended boot should now succeed, even though U-Boot will warn:

  reading vmlinux.64.md5
  ** Unable to read file vmlinux.64.md5 **
