48: <h3>How to install</h3>
1.1 deraadt 49: <p>
50: Following this are the instructions if you had purchased a CDROM set
51: instead of attempting to do
52: an alternate form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or
53: other style of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are
54: left intact so that you can see how much easier it would have been if
55: you had purchased a CDROM instead.
1.27 bentley 56: <hr>
1.1 deraadt 57: <p>
1.8 jsyn 58: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROMs for extensive

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!
1.29 bentley 90:
1.28 deraadt 91: <h3>OpenBSD/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.
1.29 bentley 103:
1.28 deraadt 104: <h3>OpenBSD/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.
1.29 bentley 110:
1.28 deraadt 111: <h3>OpenBSD/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.
1.29 bentley 123:
1.28 deraadt 124: <h3>OpenBSD/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.
1.29 bentley 130:
1.28 deraadt 131: <h3>OpenBSD/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".
1.29 bentley 136:
1.28 deraadt 137: <h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 138: <p>
139: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
140: INSTALL.hp300.
1.29 bentley 141:
1.28 deraadt 142: <h3>OpenBSD/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.
1.29 bentley 149:
1.28 deraadt 150: <h3>OpenBSD/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.
1.29 bentley 159:
1.28 deraadt 160: <h3>OpenBSD/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!

1.28 deraadt 171: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1.1 deraadt 172: <p>
1.30 deraadt 173: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
174: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
1.1 deraadt 175: in a separate archive. To extract:
1.28 deraadt 176: <blockquote><pre>
177: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
178: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
179: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
180: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 181: <p>
1.30 deraadt 182: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1.1 deraadt 183: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
184: To extract:
1.28 deraadt 185: <blockquote><pre>
186: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
187: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
188: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</kbd>
189: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 190: <p>
191: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
192: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1.28 deraadt 193: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1.1 deraadt 194: Using these files
195: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
196: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1.28 deraadt 202: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
1.1 deraadt 203: <p>
204: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1.28 deraadt 205: <blockquote><pre>
206: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
207: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
208: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 209: <p>
210: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.29 bentley 211: read <a href="faq/faq15.html">https://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/faq15.html</a>
1.1 deraadt 212: if you know nothing about ports
213: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
214: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
215: OpenBSD ports system.
216: <p>
217: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because
218: the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is a very
219: young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are
220: provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that
1.7 pvalchev 221: ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionality in the
1.1 deraadt 222: future.
223: <p>
224: As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/
225: directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't
226: familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source
227: tree, we will soon be making ports available via anoncvs. So, in
228: order to keep current with the, you must make the ports/ tree
229: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
230: like:
1.28 deraadt 231: <blockquote><pre>
232: # <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd</kbd>
233: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 234: <p>
235: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
236: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
237: server.]
238: <p>
239: Again, it's important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
240: this is a very new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
241: completely.
242: <p>
243: Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
244: interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1.28 deraadt 245: would like to know more, the mailing list
246: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
