! 30: To get the files for this release:
! 31: <ul>
! 32: <li><strong>Order a CDROM from our ordering system.</strong>
! 33: The 2.1 release has no ISBN number associated with it.
! 34: <li>See the information on <a href=ftp.html>The FTP page</a> for
! 35: a list of mirror machines
! 36: <li>Go to the <font color=#e00000>pub/OpenBSD/2.1/</font> directory on
! 37: one of the mirror sites
! 38: <li>Briefly read the rest of this document.
! 39: <li>Have a look at <a href=errata21.html>The 2.1 Errata page</a> for a list of bugs
! 40: and workarounds.
! 41: </ul>
! 42: </font></h3>
! 43:
! 44: All applicable copyrights and credits can be found in the applicable
! 45: file sources found in the files src.tar.gz and srcsys.tar.gz.
! 46: <p>
! 47: Following this are the instructions if you had purchased a CDROM set
! 48: from <a href=orders.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/orders.html</a>,
! 49: instead of attempting to do
! 50: an alternate form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or
! 51: other style of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are
! 52: left intact so that you can see how much easier it would have been if
! 53: you had purchased a CDROM instead.
! 54: <p>
! 55: <hr>
! 56: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROM's for extensive
! 57: details on how to install OpenBSD 2.1 on your machine:
! 58: <p>
! 59: <dl>
! 60: <li> CD1:2.1/i386/INSTALL.i386
! 61: <li> CD1:2.1/arc/INSTALL.arc
! 62: <li> CD1:2.1/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k
! 63: <li> CD1:2.1/pmax/INSTALL.pmax
! 64: <li> CD1:2.1/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
! 65: <li> CD1:2.1/mvme68k/INSTALL.mvme68k
! 66: <p>
! 67: <li> CD2:2.1/amiga/INSTALL.amiga
! 68: <li> CD2:2.1/hp300/INSTALL.hp300
! 69: <li> CD2:2.1/alpha/INSTALL.alpha
! 70: </dl>
! 71: <hr>
! 72: <p>
! 73: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
! 74: use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
! 75: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
! 76: <p>
! 77: <h3><font color=#e00000>i386:</font></h3>
! 78: <p>
! 79: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
! 80: CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.1/i386/floppy21.fs to a
! 81: floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
! 82: operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
! 83: document.
! 84: <p>
! 85: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.1/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
! 86: Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
! 87: be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect
! 88: floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.
! 89: <p>
! 90: <h3><font color=#e00000>ARC:</font></h3>
! 91: <p>
! 92: Using CD1, tell the BOOT ROM to load the file CD1:\2.1\arc\bsd.rd. If
! 93: that does not work, create a MS-DOS filesystem using your vendor's arc
! 94: setup program, copy CD1:2.1/arc/bsd.rd to there and attempt to boot
! 95: it.
! 96: <p>
! 97: <h3><font color=#e00000>SPARC:</font></h3>
! 98: <p>
! 99: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.1/sparc/bsd.rd", or
! 100: "b sd(0,6,0)2.1/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
! 101: Alternatively, write CD1:2.1/sparc/floppy21.fs to a floppy and boot it
! 102: using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
! 103: Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.1/sparc/kc.fs and
! 104: CD1:2.1/sparc/inst.fs to two separate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
! 105: and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
! 106: floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
! 107: the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
! 108: re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
! 109: <p>
! 110: <h3><font color=#e00000>PMAX:</font></h3>
! 111: <p>
! 112: Write the simpleroot21.fs onto the start of the disk using dd on another
! 113: machine. After moving the disk drive, use "boot -f rz(0,0,0)/bsd"
! 114: (2100/3100) or "boot 5/rz0a/bsd" (5000). Alternatively, install via
! 115: network as described in detail in INSTALL.pmax.
! 116: <p>
! 117: <h3><font color=#e00000>AMIGA:</font></h3>
! 118: <p>
! 119: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
! 120: Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
! 121: CLI command: "CD0:2.1/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.1/amiga/bsd.rd".
! 122: <p>
! 123: <h3><font color=#e00000>HP300:</font></h3>
! 124: <p>
! 125: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
! 126: INSTALL.hp300.
! 127: <p>
! 128: <h3><font color=#e00000>ALPHA:</font></h3>
! 129: <p>
! 130: Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you
! 131: can try "boot -fi 2.1/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your
! 132: CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.1/alpha/floppy.fs to a
! 133: floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place
! 134: bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.
! 135: <p>
! 136: <h3><font color=#e00000>MAC68K:</font></h3>
! 137: <p>
! 138: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
! 139: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
! 140: CD1:2.1/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
! 141: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
! 142: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.1/mac68k/ onto your
! 143: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
! 144: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
! 145: <p>
! 146: <h3><font color=#e00000>MVME68K:</font></h3>
! 147: <p>
! 148: Theo has no real idea. In the rush to get everything else done, the
! 149: install stuff for the mvme68k was never completed. Enough pieces are
! 150: included so that a really skilled person could find a way to install
! 151: it; perhaps using netbooting. Good luck!
! 152: <hr>
! 153: <p>
! 154: <h3><font color=#e00000>NOTES ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:</font></h3>
! 155: <p>
! 156: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
! 157: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
! 158: in a separate archive. To extract:
! 159: <p>
! 160: <pre>
! 161: # mkdir -p /usr/src
! 162: # cd /usr/src
! 163: # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
! 164: </pre>
! 165: <p>
! 166: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
! 167: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
! 168: To extract:
! 169: <p>
! 170: <pre>
! 171: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
! 172: # cd /usr/src
! 173: # tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz
! 174: </pre>
! 175: <p>
! 176: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
! 177: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
! 178: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
! 179: Using these files
! 180: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
! 181: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
! 182: <p>
! 183: <hr>
! 184: <p>
! 185: <h3><font color=#e00000>PORTS TREE</font></h3>
! 186: <p>
! 187: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
! 188: <p>
! 189: <pre>
! 190: # cd /usr
! 191: # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
! 192: # cd ports
! 193: # ls
! 194: ...
! 195: </pre>
! 196: <p>
! 197: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
! 198: read <a href=ports.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
! 199: if you know nothing about ports
! 200: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 201: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 202: OpenBSD ports system.
! 203: <p>
! 204: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because
! 205: the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is a very
! 206: young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are
! 207: provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that
! 208: ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionallity in the
! 209: future.
! 210: <p>
! 211: As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/
! 212: directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't
! 213: familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source
! 214: tree, we will soon be making ports available via anoncvs. So, in
! 215: order to keep current with the, you must make the ports/ tree
! 216: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 217: like:
! 218: <p>
! 219: <pre>
! 220: # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -PAd
! 221: </pre>
! 222: <p>
! 223: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 224: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 225: server.]
! 226: <p>
! 227: Again, it's important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
! 228: this is a very new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
! 229: completely.
! 230: <p>
! 231: Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
! 232: interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 233: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 234: place to know.
