1dnl $OpenBSD: install,v 1.20 2023/03/16 18:04:07 miod 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, OpenBSD probably can't be run on 32 your hardware. This can probably be considered a bug, so you might 33 want to report it. If you do, please {:-include-:} as many details 34 about your system configuration as you can. 35 36OpenBSDInstallPart3 37 38OpenBSDInstallPart4 39 40OpenBSDInstallMBRPart1 41 42OpenBSDInstallMBRPart2(yup) 43 44OpenBSDInstallPart5({:- 45 46 If you have DOS or Linux partitions defined on the disk, these 47 will usually show up as partition 'i', 'j' and so on.-:}) 48 49OpenBSDInstallPart6({:-CD-ROM, -:}) 50 51OpenBSDURLInstall 52 53OpenBSDCDROMInstall 54 55OpenBSDDISKInstall({:-"wdN" or -:},,{:- or MS-DOS-:}) 56 57OpenBSDCommonInstall 58 59OpenBSDInstallWrapup 60 61OpenBSDCongratulations 62 63 64 65OpenBSDUnattendedInstallation 66
