1dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.17 2014/02/27 19:33:51 tedu Exp $ 2OpenBSDInstallPrelude 3 4There are several ways to install OpenBSD onto a disk. The easiest way, 5should your computer support it, is to boot off the OpenBSD CD-ROM, or 6off the bootable CD-ROM mini image. Otherwise, you can boot from a 3.5" 71.44MB floppy disk if your machine has a floppy drive. If your machine 8supports PXE network boots, you could try to configure a server for a 9network install. 10 11OpenBSDInstallPart2 12 13 If you are using CD-ROM or floppy media, ensure the disk is in 14 the drive before starting. 15 16 Reboot the computer to begin the install. You might have to play 17 with your BIOS options to get the computer to boot from the 18 correct installation media (floppy, CD, or network/PXE) rather 19 than from the hard disk. 20 21 If you are installing across the network with PXE, you will need 22 to tell pxeboot to get the bsd.rd install kernel: 23 24 boot> boot bsd.rd 25 26 It can take a while to load the kernel from a floppy, slow speed 27 CD-ROM drive, or across a network, most likely more than a minute. 28 If some action doesn't eventually happen, or the spinning cursor 29 has stopped and nothing further has happened, either your boot 30 floppy is bad or you are having hardware problems. If trying 31 another floppy disk doesn't help, try booting after disabling your 32 CPU's internal and external caches (if any). If it still doesn't 33 work, OpenBSD probably can't be run on your hardware. This can 34 probably be considered a bug, so you might want to report it. If 35 you do, please {:-include-:} as many details about your system 36 configuration as you can. 37 38OpenBSDInstallPart3 39 40OpenBSDInstallPart4 41 42OpenBSDInstallMBRPart1 43 44OpenBSDInstallMBRPart2(yup) 45 46OpenBSDInstallPart5({:- 47 If you have DOS or Linux partitions defined on the disk, these 48 will usually show up as partition 'i', 'j' and so on.-:}) 49 50OpenBSDInstallPart6({:-CD-ROM, -:}) 51 52OpenBSDURLInstall 53 54OpenBSDCDROMInstall 55 56OpenBSDDISKInstall({:-"wdN" or -:},,{:- or MS-DOS-:}) 57 58OpenBSDCommonInstall 59 60OpenBSDInstallWrapup 61 62OpenBSDCongratulations 63 64 65 66OpenBSDUnattendedInstallation 67
