1.1 deraadt 42: XXX<br>
43: <p>
44: Following this are the instructions if you had purchased a CDROM set
1.3 ! deraadt 45: from <a href=orders.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/orders.html</a>,
! 46: instead of attempting to do
1.1 deraadt 47: an alternate form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or
48: other style of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are
49: left intact so that you can see how much easier it would have been if
50: you had purchased a CDROM instead.
51: <p>
52: <hr>
53: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROM's for extensive
54: details on how to install OpenBSD 2.2 on your machine:
55: <p>
56: <dl>
57: <li> CD1:2.2/i386/INSTALL.i386
58: <li> CD1:2.2/arc/INSTALL.arc
59: <li> CD1:2.2/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k
60: <li> CD1:2.2/pmax/INSTALL.pmax
61: <li> CD1:2.2/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
62: <li> CD1:2.2/mvme68k/INSTALL.mvme68k
63: <p>
64: <li> CD2:2.2/amiga/INSTALL.amiga
65: <li> CD2:2.2/hp300/INSTALL.hp300
66: <li> CD2:2.2/alpha/INSTALL.alpha
67: </dl>
68: <hr>
69: <p>
70: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
71: use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
72: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
73: <p>
74: <h3><font color=#e00000>i386:</font></h3>
75: <p>
76: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
77: CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.2/i386/floppy22.fs to a
78: floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
79: operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
80: document.
81: <p>
82: <h3><font color=#e00000>ARC:</font></h3>
83: <p>
84: Using CD1, tell the BOOT ROM to load the file CD1:\2.2\arc\bsd.rd. If
85: that does not work, create a MSDOS filesystem using your vendor's arc
86: setup program, copy CD1:2.2/arc/bsd.rd to there and attempt to boot
87: it.
88: <p>
89: <h3><font color=#e00000>SPARC:</font></h3>
90: <p>
91: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.2/sparc/bsd.rd", or
92: "b sd(0,6,0)2.2/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
93: Alternatively, write CD1:2.2/sparc/floppy22.fs to a floppy and boot it
94: using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
95: Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.2/sparc/kc.fs and
96: CD1:2.2/sparc/inst.fs to two seperate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
97: and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
98: floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
99: the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
100: re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
101: <p>
102: <h3><font color=#e00000>PMAX:</font></h3>
103: <p>
104: Write the simpleroot22.fs onto the start of the disk using dd on another
105: machine. After moving the disk drive, use "boot -f rz(0,0,0)/bsd"
106: (2100/3100) or "boot 5/rz0a/bsd" (5000). Alternatively, install via
107: network as described in detail in INSTALL.pmax.
108: <p>
109: <h3><font color=#e00000>AMIGA:</font></h3>
110: <p>
111: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
112: Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
113: CLI command: "CD0:2.2/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.2/amiga/bsd.rd".
114: <p>
115: <h3><font color=#e00000>HP300:</font></h3>
116: <p>
117: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
118: INSTALL.hp300.
119: <p>
120: <h3><font color=#e00000>ALPHA:</font></h3>
121: <p>
122: Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you
123: can try "boot -fi 2.2/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your
124: CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.2/alpha/floppy.fs to a
125: floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place
126: bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.
127: <p>
128: <h3><font color=#e00000>MAC68K:</font></h3>
129: <p>
130: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
131: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
132: CD1:2.2/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
133: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
134: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.2/mac68k/ onto your
135: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
136: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
137: <p>
138: <h3><font color=#e00000>MVME68K:</font></h3>
139: <p>
140: Theo has no real idea. In the rush to get everything else done, the
141: install stuff for the mvme68k was never completed. Enough pieces are
142: included so that a really skilled person could find a way to install
143: it; perhaps using netbooting. Good luck!
144: <hr>
145: <p>
146: <h3><font color=#e00000>Further Notes:</font></h3>
147: <p>
148: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.2/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
149: Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
150: be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a").
151: <p>
152: Use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will
153: lose.
154: <p>
155: <hr>
156: <p>
157: <h3><font color=#e00000>NOTES ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:</font></h3>
158: <p>
159: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
160: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
161: in a seperate archive. To extract:
162: <p>
1.2 deraadt 163: <pre>
164: # mkdir -p /usr/src
165: # cd /usr/src
166: # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
167: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 168: <p>
169: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
170: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
171: To extract:
172: <p>
1.2 deraadt 173: <pre>
174: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
175: # cd /usr/src/sys
176: # tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz
177: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 178: <p>
179: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
180: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1.3 ! deraadt 181: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
! 182: Using these files
1.1 deraadt 183: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
184: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
185: <p>
186: <hr>
187: <p>
188: <h3><font color=#e00000>PORTS TREE</font></h3>
189: <p>
190: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
191: <p>
1.2 deraadt 192: <pre>
193: # cd /usr
194: # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
195: # cd ports
196: # ls
197: ...
198: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 199: <p>
200: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.3 ! deraadt 201: read <a href=ports.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
! 202: if you know nothing about ports
1.1 deraadt 203: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
204: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
205: OpenBSD ports system.
206: <p>
207: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because
208: the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is a very
209: young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are
210: provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that
211: ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionallity in the
212: future.
213: <p>
214: As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/
215: directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't
216: familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source
217: tree, we will soon be making ports available via anoncvs. So, in
218: order to keep current with the, you must make the ports/ tree
219: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
220: like:
221: <p>
1.2 deraadt 222: <pre>
223: # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -PAd
224: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 225: <p>
226: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
227: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
228: server.]
229: <p>
230: Again, it's important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
231: this is a very new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
232: completely.
233: <p>
234: Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
235: interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
236: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
237: place to know.
