 <strong>Getting and installing OpenBSD/sparc:</strong>  
 </font></h3>  
   
 <p>  
 The latest supported OpenBSD/sparc release is  
 <a href="32.html">OpenBSD 3.2</a>.  
 Here are the  
 <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/sparc/INSTALL.sparc">  
 OpenBSD/sparc 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/sparc">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/sparc/INSTALL.sparc">  
 OpenBSD/sparc snapshot installation instructions  
 </a> as well.  
 </p>  
   
 <p>  
 There are several installation media provided, so that  
 OpenBSD/sparc can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on  
 sun4c and sun4m, miniroot images for machines without floppies  
 (and sun4 machines), as well as network and diskless installs.  
 <ul>  
   <li><strong>CD boot</strong>  
   <p>  
   Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing  
   a GENERIC kernel with drivers for all devices found on Sparc machines.<br>  
   For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the  
 <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc/conf/GENERIC?rev=HEAD">GENERIC</a>  
 kernel configuration file.  
   The CD can be booted off the OpenPROM prompt with  
 <pre>  
   boot cdrom 3.2/sparc/bsd.rd  
 </pre>  
   </p></li>  
   <li><strong>Floppy</strong> (floppy32.fs)  
   <p>  
   Booting off the floppy provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel  
   containing drivers for the most popular devices found on Sparc machines.<br>  
   For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the  
 <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/sparc/conf/RAMDISK?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK</a>  
 kernel configuration file.  
   The floppy can be booted off the OpenPROM prompt with  
 <pre>  
   boot floppy  
 </pre>  
   </p></li>  
   <li><strong>Miniroot</strong> (miniroot32.fs)  
   <p>  
   The miniroot provides the same installation environment as the bootable CD,  
   and is intended for easy bootstrap if there is already an operating system  
   installed on the machine.  
   After dumping the miniroot to the primary swap partition with dd, the  
   miniroot can be booted off the OpenPROM prompt with a command such as  
 <pre>  
   boot disk:b  
 </pre>  
   (the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap  
   partition).  
   </p></li>  
   <li><strong>Netboot</strong> (boot.net, bsd.rd)  
   <p>  
   Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc  
   boot loader, <tt>boot.net</tt>, from the network via tftp, and access  
   the <tt>bsd.rd</tt> standalone miniroot over NFS.  
   Refer to the  
   <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&amp;sektion=8">diskless(8)</a>  
   manual page for details on how to setup a network boot environment.
