1. If you had done a network installation, rather than an installation from disk, then /etc/installurl would have been created for you.
2. The OS comes with 4 built-in editors: vi(1), mg(1), sed(1), and ed(1). Learning vi or mg would probably be helpful. 3. You can manually create an /etc/installurl file, without an editor, by using echo(1) and redirecting the output to the file. Code:
# echo http://your.nearest.mirror.site/pub/OpenBSD > /etc/installurl |

No need for nano, as all ready mentioned ,vi , ed ,etc....
The 'echo' command is a new one to me, never thought of using it that way, thanks jggimi, So many ways to accomplish something, I used the 'cat' command myself, Code:
man cat Code:
cat > /etc/installurl http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD |
