5.1. First Boot in OpenBSD 4.0

The boot loader will pause briefly in case you want to load an alternate kernel. If you can't wait the few seconds, press Enter to skip it.

When you get to the login prompt, log in as root and put in your root password. You'll be greeted with a paragraph of welcome text and a new mail notification. If you are asked for your terminal type, type in pcvt25 and press Enter. Go ahead and read the welcome message, then type in mail and press Enter to read the email. You'll see a list of messages come up, but really there is only one right now, from Theo de Raadt. To read it, type more 1 (that's the number one) and press Enter.
