1dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.19 2016/02/16 14:48:43 krw 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, 6USB key, or off one of the bootable CD-ROM mini images. Otherwise, you 7can boot from a 3.5" 1.44MB floppy disk if your machine has a floppy drive. 8If your machine supports PXE network boots, you could try to configure a 9server for a network install. 10 11OpenBSDInstallPart2 12 13 If you are using CD-ROM, USB key or floppy media, ensure the media is 14 present 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, USB key 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 48 If you have DOS or Linux partitions defined on the disk, these 49 will usually show up as partition 'i', 'j' and so on.-:}) 50 51OpenBSDInstallPart6({:-CD-ROM, -:}) 52 53OpenBSDURLInstall 54 55OpenBSDCDROMInstall 56 57OpenBSDDISKInstall({:-"wdN" or -:},,{:- or MS-DOS-:}) 58 59OpenBSDCommonInstall 60 61OpenBSDInstallWrapup 62 63OpenBSDCongratulations 64 65 66 67OpenBSDUnattendedInstallation 68
