! 57: <h3>How to install</h3>
! 58:
1.1 deraadt 59: <p>
60: Following this are the instructions if you had purchased a CDROM set
61: instead of attempting to do
62: an alternate form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or
63: other style of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are
64: left intact so that you can see how much easier it would have been if
65: you had purchased a CDROM instead.
1.27 ! bentley 66: <hr>
1.1 deraadt 67: <p>
1.8 jsyn 68: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROMs for extensive
1.1 deraadt 69: details on how to install OpenBSD 2.1 on your machine:
1.27 ! bentley 70: <ul>
1.1 deraadt 71: <li> CD1:2.1/i386/INSTALL.i386

! 85: <section id=quickinstall>
1.1 deraadt 86: <p>
87: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
88: use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
89: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
90: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 91: <h3>i386:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 92: <p>
93: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
94: CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.1/i386/floppy21.fs to a
95: floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
96: operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
97: document.
98: <p>
99: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.1/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
1.4 wvdputte 100: Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
1.1 deraadt 101: be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect
102: floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.
103: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 104: <h3>ARC:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 105: <p>
106: Using CD1, tell the BOOT ROM to load the file CD1:\2.1\arc\bsd.rd. If
107: that does not work, create a MS-DOS filesystem using your vendor's arc
108: setup program, copy CD1:2.1/arc/bsd.rd to there and attempt to boot
109: it.
110: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 111: <h3>SPARC:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 112: <p>
113: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.1/sparc/bsd.rd", or
114: "b sd(0,6,0)2.1/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
115: Alternatively, write CD1:2.1/sparc/floppy21.fs to a floppy and boot it
116: using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
117: Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.1/sparc/kc.fs and
118: CD1:2.1/sparc/inst.fs to two separate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
119: and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
120: floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
121: the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
122: re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
123: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 124: <h3>PMAX:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 125: <p>
126: Write the simpleroot21.fs onto the start of the disk using dd on another
127: machine. After moving the disk drive, use "boot -f rz(0,0,0)/bsd"
128: (2100/3100) or "boot 5/rz0a/bsd" (5000). Alternatively, install via
129: network as described in detail in INSTALL.pmax.
130: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 131: <h3>AMIGA:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 132: <p>
133: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
134: Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
135: CLI command: "CD0:2.1/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.1/amiga/bsd.rd".
136: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 137: <h3>HP300:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 138: <p>
139: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
140: INSTALL.hp300.
141: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 142: <h3>ALPHA:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 143: <p>
144: Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you
145: can try "boot -fi 2.1/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your
146: CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.1/alpha/floppy.fs to a
147: floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place
148: bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.
149: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 150: <h3>MAC68K:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 151: <p>
152: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
153: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
154: CD1:2.1/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
155: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
156: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.1/mac68k/ onto your
157: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
158: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
159: <p>
1.27 ! bentley 160: <h3>MVME68K:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 161: <p>
162: Theo has no real idea. In the rush to get everything else done, the
163: install stuff for the mvme68k was never completed. Enough pieces are
164: included so that a really skilled person could find a way to install
165: it; perhaps using netbooting. Good luck!

! 172: <h3>NOTES ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:</h3>
! 173:
1.1 deraadt 174: <p>
175: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
176: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
177: in a separate archive. To extract:
178: <p>
179: <pre>
180: # mkdir -p /usr/src
181: # cd /usr/src
182: # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
183: </pre>
184: <p>
185: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
186: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
187: To extract:
188: <p>
189: <pre>
190: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
191: # cd /usr/src
192: # tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz
193: </pre>
194: <p>
195: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
196: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
197: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
198: Using these files
199: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
200: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

! 206: <h3>PORTS TREE</h3>
1.1 deraadt 207: <p>
208: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
209: <p>
210: <pre>
211: # cd /usr
212: # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
213: # cd ports
214: # ls
215: ...
216: </pre>
217: <p>
218: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.14 jasper 219: read <a href=faq/faq15.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/faq15.html</a>
1.1 deraadt 220: if you know nothing about ports
221: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
222: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
223: OpenBSD ports system.
224: <p>
225: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because
226: the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is a very
227: young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are
228: provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that
1.7 pvalchev 229: ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionality in the
1.1 deraadt 230: future.
231: <p>
232: As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/
233: directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't
234: familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source
235: tree, we will soon be making ports available via anoncvs. So, in
236: order to keep current with the, you must make the ports/ tree
237: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
238: like:
239: <p>
240: <pre>
1.13 deraadt 241: # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd
1.1 deraadt 242: </pre>
243: <p>
244: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
245: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
246: server.]
247: <p>
248: Again, it's important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
249: this is a very new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
250: completely.
251: <p>
252: Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
253: interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
254: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
255: place to know.
