You can work around this by creating a custom installation CD. $ find OpenBSD -type f # these files are on the ftp mirrors OpenBSD/4.0/i386/base40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/bsd OpenBSD/4.0/i386/bsd.mp OpenBSD/4.0/i386/bsd.rd OpenBSD/4.0/i386/cdrom40.fs OpenBSD/4.0/i386/comp40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/etc40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/game40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/man40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/misc40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xbase40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xetc40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xfont40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xserv40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xshare40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/expat-2.0.0.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/gettext-0.14.5p1.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/libiconv-1.9.2p3.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/wget-1.10.2p0.tgz $ mkisofs -l -r -b 4.0/i386/cdrom40.fs -o obsd.iso OpenBSD When you have OpenBSD up and running, try wget's proxy authentication. # mount /dev/cd0a /mnt # replace cd0a with your CD device # pkg_add /mnt/4.0/packages/i386/wget-1.10.2p0.tgz # man wget If you like OpenBSD, you could try to implement proxy authentication in ftp(1).

So, what should I input for HTTP/FTP > proxy URL? IIRC, the version of FTP built for the RAMDISK kernel does not support proxy authentication. If this is correct, what you are seeing is unsurprising. You might be able to order a CD, or download the install sets from the net on another box and burn them to CD/serve them via some local server. If you know what you are doing, you could use this box, too (there are several ways to store data on disk; just dd'ing the install images to a partition, keeping track of where they are stored, would allow you to recover them easily - if I indeed remember correctly that the install disk does contain dd, or getting more than one file on a partition might be tricky. Still, you can boot with surprisingly few files - I'm fairly certain that having bsd.rd and baseXY.tgz will be enough to allow you to download the rest easily.) Joachim

Looking at ftp(1)'s source code, I don't think the '.' should throw off the username/password parsing, so try: http://abc.s34:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I had tried it for times, but with no success.

How to set proxy authentication when installing?
Hello everyone! I am a university student and I can't visit the web server outside of China. So ,I use proxy to install OpenBSD(the proxy need for authentication). When I get into the step bellow, I do not know how to set proxy authentication correctly. I tried for times, but failed. Let's install the sets! Location of sets? (cd disk ftp http or 'done') [cd] ftp HTTP/FTP proxy URL? (e.g. 'http://proxy:8080', or 'none') [none] Supposing my proxy server use http protocol, and its IP address is *.*.0.9, and the username is abc.s34(please notice that it has a dot inside), the password is abc. So, what should I input for HTTP/FTP proxy URL? Thank you!
