Failing that, if your computer supports 13PXE, you can prepare a server to start the install across the network, but you 14will still need the install sets available on one of the above media types. 15 16OpenBSDXferCDROM 17 18OpenBSDXferFloppyFromDOS 19 20OpenBSDXferFloppyFromUNIX 21 22OpenBSDXferUSBFromUNIX 23 24Creating a PXE network bootable setup using OpenBSD or other Unix-like system: 25 26 In order to start the install via PXE, you will need to set up a 27 DHCP server and a TFTP server. The details of how to do this 28 vary considerably, depending on the network's host. You should 29 refer to the relevant man pages or administrator's guide for the 30 host system. 31 32 The DHCP server should return "pxeboot" to MACHINE clients as the 33 network boot program. Both pxeboot and the bsd.rd install kernel 34 should be copied to the TFTP server's root directory. 35 36 If you are using an OpenBSD server, you can use the supplied 37 dhcpd and tftpd. A sample configuration for dhcpd is given in 38 the pxeboot(8) man page. You can get it from the man{:--:}OSrev.tgz 39 distribution set, or see the copy on the OpenBSD web page. You 40 should also refer to dhcpd(8) and tftpd(8) for more information 41 on configuring them. 42 43 44OpenBSDXferShortPrelude 45 46dnl OpenBSDXferNFS 47dnl 48OpenBSDXferFFS 49
