 <strong>Getting and installing OpenBSD/macppc:</strong>  
 </font></h3>  
   
 <p>  
 The latest supported OpenBSD/macppc release is  
 <a href="32.html">OpenBSD 3.2</a>.  
 Here are the  
 <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/macppc/INSTALL.macppc">  
 OpenBSD/macppc 3.2 installation instructions  
 </a>.  
 </p>  
   
 <p>  
 Snapshots are made available from time to time, in  
 <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/macppc">this location</a>  
 as well as in a few  
 <a href="ftp.html">mirrors</a>.  
 Here are the  
 <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/macppc/INSTALL.macppc">  
 OpenBSD/macppc snapshot installation instructions  
 </a> as well.  
 </p>  
   
 <p>  
 There are several installation media provided:  
 <ul>  
   <li><strong>CD boot</strong>  
   <p>  
   With the OpenBSD CD inserted in the cdrom drive, powering the machine on  
   while leaving the ``C'' key pressed will bootstrap the installation  
   procedure.  
   Alternatively, the CD can be booted at the OpenFirmware prompt, with  
 <pre>  
   boot cd:,ofwboot 3.2/macppc/bsd.rd  
 </pre>  
   </p></li>  
   <li><strong>MacOS-based boot</strong>  
   <p>  
   If the system disk is shared with MacOS, the <tt>ofwboot</tt> boot loader  
   and the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> installation media can be copied to the first HFS  
   or HFS+ partition.  
   Then the installation procedure can be booted at the OpenFirmware prompt,  
   with  
 <pre>  
   boot hd:,ofwboot bsd.rd  
 </pre>  
 </ul>  
 </p>  
   
 <a name="multiboot"></a>  
 <h3><font color="#0000e0">Multiboot/Shared HFS disks:</font></h3>  
 <p>  
 Having OpenBSD multiboot, or share, a disk with OS X/MacOS 9  
 is possible as long as the disk is first partitioned with the  
 MacOS utility, <i>Drive Setup</i> (MacOS 9) or <i>System Disk  
 Utility</i> (MacOS X).  
 Unallocated space, or a partition not in use, must be left for OpenBSD's use.  
 Since OpenBSD is only able to boot from HFS (not MacOS X UFS) filesystem,  
 the first partition must formated as HFS or HFS+, not UFS, to be able to boot  
 OpenBSD.  
 </p>  
   
 <p>  
 Please refer to the installation instructions for more details on how to  
 install a shared disk.  
 Standalone (no MacOS present) installation is also supported.  
 </p>  
   
 <a name="root"></a>  
 <h3><font color="#0000e0">Boot device considerations:</font></h3>  
 <p>  
 Modern MacPPC systems have two IDE interfaces (called Ultra and IDE), each of  
 which can have two devices on them (ultra0, ultra1, ide0, ide1).  
 When multiple drives are present in the system, there are limitations  
 of which drives can be configured as the OpenBSD root drive.  
 Invalid configurations will not be able to properly  
 detect which drive is the root drive, so any attempt will either  
 prompt for a root drive or fail.  
 </p>  
   
 <p>  
 <ul>  
 <li><tt>ultra0</tt> is always a valid root drive.  
 <li><tt>ultra1</tt> is valid as a root disk, as long as <tt>ultra0</tt>  
   is a hard drive, not a non-hard disk ATAPI device).  
 <li><tt>ide1</tt> (Zip drive bay) is valid as a root disk if no hard drive is  
   located at <tt>ultra1</tt>,  
 <li><tt>ide0</tt> (cdrom) is valid as a root drive <b>only</b> if no hard  
   drives are connected to the Ultra bus.
