! 43: <p>
! 44: Following this are the instructions if you had purchased a CDROM set
! 45: from http://www.OpenBSD.org/orders.html, instead of attempting to do
! 46: an alternate form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or
! 47: other style of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are
! 48: left intact so that you can see how much easier it would have been if
! 49: you had purchased a CDROM instead.
! 50: <p>
! 51: <hr>
! 52: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROM's for extensive
! 53: details on how to install OpenBSD 2.2 on your machine:
! 54: <p>
! 55: <dl>
! 56: <li> CD1:2.2/i386/INSTALL.i386
! 57: <li> CD1:2.2/arc/INSTALL.arc
! 58: <li> CD1:2.2/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k
! 59: <li> CD1:2.2/pmax/INSTALL.pmax
! 60: <li> CD1:2.2/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
! 61: <li> CD1:2.2/mvme68k/INSTALL.mvme68k
! 62: <p>
! 63: <li> CD2:2.2/amiga/INSTALL.amiga
! 64: <li> CD2:2.2/hp300/INSTALL.hp300
! 65: <li> CD2:2.2/alpha/INSTALL.alpha
! 66: </dl>
! 67: <hr>
! 68: <p>
! 69: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
! 70: use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
! 71: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
! 72: <p>
! 73: <h3><font color=#e00000>i386:</font></h3>
! 74: <p>
! 75: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
! 76: CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.2/i386/floppy22.fs to a
! 77: floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
! 78: operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
! 79: document.
! 80: <p>
! 81: <h3><font color=#e00000>ARC:</font></h3>
! 82: <p>
! 83: Using CD1, tell the BOOT ROM to load the file CD1:\2.2\arc\bsd.rd. If
! 84: that does not work, create a MSDOS filesystem using your vendor's arc
! 85: setup program, copy CD1:2.2/arc/bsd.rd to there and attempt to boot
! 86: it.
! 87: <p>
! 88: <h3><font color=#e00000>SPARC:</font></h3>
! 89: <p>
! 90: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.2/sparc/bsd.rd", or
! 91: "b sd(0,6,0)2.2/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
! 92: Alternatively, write CD1:2.2/sparc/floppy22.fs to a floppy and boot it
! 93: using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
! 94: Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.2/sparc/kc.fs and
! 95: CD1:2.2/sparc/inst.fs to two seperate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
! 96: and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
! 97: floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
! 98: the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
! 99: re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
! 100: <p>
! 101: <h3><font color=#e00000>PMAX:</font></h3>
! 102: <p>
! 103: Write the simpleroot22.fs onto the start of the disk using dd on another
! 104: machine. After moving the disk drive, use "boot -f rz(0,0,0)/bsd"
! 105: (2100/3100) or "boot 5/rz0a/bsd" (5000). Alternatively, install via
! 106: network as described in detail in INSTALL.pmax.
! 107: <p>
! 108: <h3><font color=#e00000>AMIGA:</font></h3>
! 109: <p>
! 110: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
! 111: Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
! 112: CLI command: "CD0:2.2/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.2/amiga/bsd.rd".
! 113: <p>
! 114: <h3><font color=#e00000>HP300:</font></h3>
! 115: <p>
! 116: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
! 117: INSTALL.hp300.
! 118: <p>
! 119: <h3><font color=#e00000>ALPHA:</font></h3>
! 120: <p>
! 121: Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you
! 122: can try "boot -fi 2.2/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your
! 123: CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.2/alpha/floppy.fs to a
! 124: floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place
! 125: bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.
! 126: <p>
! 127: <h3><font color=#e00000>MAC68K:</font></h3>
! 128: <p>
! 129: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
! 130: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
! 131: CD1:2.2/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
! 132: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
! 133: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.2/mac68k/ onto your
! 134: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
! 135: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
! 136: <p>
! 137: <h3><font color=#e00000>MVME68K:</font></h3>
! 138: <p>
! 139: Theo has no real idea. In the rush to get everything else done, the
! 140: install stuff for the mvme68k was never completed. Enough pieces are
! 141: included so that a really skilled person could find a way to install
! 142: it; perhaps using netbooting. Good luck!
! 143: <hr>
! 144: <p>
! 145: <h3><font color=#e00000>Further Notes:</font></h3>
! 146: <p>
! 147: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.2/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
! 148: Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
! 149: be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a").
! 150: <p>
! 151: Use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will
! 152: lose.
! 153: <p>
! 154: <hr>
! 155: <p>
! 156: <h3><font color=#e00000>NOTES ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:</font></h3>
! 157: <p>
! 158: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
! 159: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
! 160: in a seperate archive. To extract:
! 161: <p>
! 162: # mkdir -p /usr/src
! 163: # cd /usr/src
! 164: # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
! 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: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
! 171: # cd /usr/src/sys
! 172: # tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz
! 173: <p>
! 174: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
! 175: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
! 176: described at http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html. Using these files
! 177: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
! 178: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
! 179: <p>
! 180: <hr>
! 181: <p>
! 182: <h3><font color=#e00000>PORTS TREE</font></h3>
! 183: <p>
! 184: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
! 185: <p>
! 186: # cd /usr
! 187: # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
! 188: # cd ports
! 189: # ls
! 190: ...
! 191: <p>
! 192: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
! 193: read http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html if you know nothing about ports
! 194: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 195: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 196: OpenBSD ports system.
! 197: <p>
! 198: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because
! 199: the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is a very
! 200: young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are
! 201: provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that
! 202: ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionallity in the
! 203: future.
! 204: <p>
! 205: As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/
! 206: directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't
! 207: familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source
! 208: tree, we will soon be making ports available via anoncvs. So, in
! 209: order to keep current with the, you must make the ports/ tree
! 210: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 211: like:
! 212: <p>
! 213: # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -PAd
! 214: <p>
! 215: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 216: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 217: server.]
! 218: <p>
! 219: Again, it's important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
! 220: this is a very new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
! 221: completely.
! 222: <p>
! 223: Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
! 224: interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 225: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 226: place to know.
