- Getting and installing OpenBSD/sparc64: -

- -

- The latest supported OpenBSD/sparc64 release is - OpenBSD 3.2. - Here are the - - OpenBSD/sparc64 3.2 installation instructions - . -

- -

- Snapshots are made available from time to time, in - this location - as well as in a few - mirrors. - Here are the - - OpenBSD/sparc64 snapshot installation instructions - as well. -

- -

- There are several installation media provided, so that - OpenBSD/sparc64 can be installed or upgraded via CD, floppy boot images on - Ultra1 and Ultra2, miniroot images for machines without floppies - (and sun4 machines), as well as network and diskless installs. -

CD boot -
- Booting off the CD provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel containing - drivers for the most popular devices found on UltraSPARC hardware.
- For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the - RAMDISK - kernel configuration file. - The CD can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with -
```
-   boot cdrom
- 
```
-
Floppy (floppy32.fs) -
- Booting off the floppy provides a small ffs filesystem with a kernel - containing supporting the following sparc64 hardware: -
- Ultra 1/1E -
- Ultra 2 -
- as well as support for the on-board devices found on these machines. - However due to lack of space there are only a few other drivers. - In particular, this floppy lacks cdrom support and will not - allow installation from cdrom media. - For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the - RAMDISKU1 - kernel configuration file. - The floppy can be booted off the OpenFirmware prompt with -
```
-   boot floppy
- 
```
-
Miniroot (miniroot32.fs) -
- 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 OpenFirmware prompt with a command such as -
```
-   boot disk:b
- 
```
- (the disk designation may be different, depending on the chosen swap - partition). -
Network boot (ofwboot.net, bsd.rd) -
- Using a diskless setup, it is also possible to boot the OpenBSD/sparc64 - boot loader, ofwboot.net, from the network via tftp, and access - the bsd.rd standalone miniroot over NFS. - Refer to the - diskless(8) - manual page for details on how to setup a network boot environment. -

- -

- Please note that booting from floppy might not work on your machine; also, - Ultra 1, 1E and 2 systems might require a PROM update (they usually don't if - they are able to boot Solaris in 64bit-mode); please refer to the - installation notes for details. -
