1dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.50 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 one of the bootable CD-ROM mini images. Otherwise, you can boot 7from 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. If your machine can boot from a USB device, 10having a USB key with a minimal install is another possibility. 11 12OpenBSDInstallPart2 13 14 If you are using CD-ROM or floppy media, ensure the disk is in 15 the drive before starting. 16 17 Reboot the computer to begin the install. You might have to play 18 with your BIOS options to get the computer to boot from the 19 correct installation media (floppy, CD, or network/PXE) rather 20 than from the hard disk. 21 22 If you are installing across the network with PXE, you will need 23 to tell pxeboot to get the bsd.rd install kernel: 24 25 boot> boot bsd.rd 26 27 It can take a while to load the kernel from a floppy, slow speed 28 CD-ROM drive, or across a network, most likely more than a minute. 29 If some action doesn't eventually happen, or the spinning cursor 30 has stopped and nothing further has happened, either your boot 31 floppy is bad or you are having hardware problems. If trying 32 another floppy disk doesn't help, try booting after disabling your 33 CPU's internal and external caches (if any). If it still doesn't 34 work, OpenBSD probably can't be run on your hardware. This can 35 probably be considered a bug, so you might want to report it. If 36 you do, please {:-include-:} as many details about your system 37 configuration as you can. 38 39OpenBSDInstallPart3 40 41OpenBSDInstallPart4 42 43OpenBSDInstallMBRPart1 44 45OpenBSDInstallMBRPart2(verily) 46 47OpenBSDInstallPart5({:- 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
