39: file sources found in the files src.tar.gz and srcsys.tar.gz.
40: <p>
41: Following this are the instructions if you had purchased a CDROM set
1.3 deraadt 42: from <a href=orders.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/orders.html</a>,
43: instead of attempting to do
1.1 deraadt 44: an alternate form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or
45: other style of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are
46: left intact so that you can see how much easier it would have been if
47: you had purchased a CDROM instead.
48: <p>
49: <hr>
50: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROM's for extensive
51: details on how to install OpenBSD 2.2 on your machine:
52: <p>
53: <dl>
54: <li> CD1:2.2/i386/INSTALL.i386
55: <li> CD1:2.2/arc/INSTALL.arc
56: <li> CD1:2.2/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k
57: <li> CD1:2.2/pmax/INSTALL.pmax
58: <li> CD1:2.2/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
59: <li> CD1:2.2/mvme68k/INSTALL.mvme68k
60: <p>
61: <li> CD2:2.2/amiga/INSTALL.amiga
62: <li> CD2:2.2/hp300/INSTALL.hp300
63: <li> CD2:2.2/alpha/INSTALL.alpha
64: </dl>
65: <hr>
66: <p>
67: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
68: use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
69: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
70: <p>
71: <h3><font color=#e00000>i386:</font></h3>
72: <p>
73: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
74: CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.2/i386/floppy22.fs to a
75: floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
76: operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
77: document.
78: <p>
79: <h3><font color=#e00000>ARC:</font></h3>
80: <p>
81: Using CD1, tell the BOOT ROM to load the file CD1:\2.2\arc\bsd.rd. If
82: that does not work, create a MSDOS filesystem using your vendor's arc
83: setup program, copy CD1:2.2/arc/bsd.rd to there and attempt to boot
84: it.
85: <p>
86: <h3><font color=#e00000>SPARC:</font></h3>
87: <p>
88: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.2/sparc/bsd.rd", or
89: "b sd(0,6,0)2.2/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
90: Alternatively, write CD1:2.2/sparc/floppy22.fs to a floppy and boot it
91: using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
92: Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.2/sparc/kc.fs and
93: CD1:2.2/sparc/inst.fs to two seperate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
94: and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
95: floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
96: the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
97: re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
98: <p>
99: <h3><font color=#e00000>PMAX:</font></h3>
100: <p>
101: Write the simpleroot22.fs onto the start of the disk using dd on another
102: machine. After moving the disk drive, use "boot -f rz(0,0,0)/bsd"
103: (2100/3100) or "boot 5/rz0a/bsd" (5000). Alternatively, install via
104: network as described in detail in INSTALL.pmax.
105: <p>
106: <h3><font color=#e00000>AMIGA:</font></h3>
107: <p>
108: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
109: Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
110: CLI command: "CD0:2.2/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.2/amiga/bsd.rd".
111: <p>
112: <h3><font color=#e00000>HP300:</font></h3>
113: <p>
114: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
115: INSTALL.hp300.
116: <p>
117: <h3><font color=#e00000>ALPHA:</font></h3>
118: <p>
119: Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you
120: can try "boot -fi 2.2/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your
121: CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.2/alpha/floppy.fs to a
122: floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place
123: bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.
124: <p>
125: <h3><font color=#e00000>MAC68K:</font></h3>
126: <p>
127: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
128: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
129: CD1:2.2/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
130: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
131: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.2/mac68k/ onto your
132: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
133: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
134: <p>
135: <h3><font color=#e00000>MVME68K:</font></h3>
136: <p>
137: Theo has no real idea. In the rush to get everything else done, the
138: install stuff for the mvme68k was never completed. Enough pieces are
139: included so that a really skilled person could find a way to install
140: it; perhaps using netbooting. Good luck!
141: <hr>
142: <p>
143: <h3><font color=#e00000>Further Notes:</font></h3>
144: <p>
145: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.2/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
146: Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
147: be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a").
148: <p>
149: Use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will
150: lose.
151: <p>
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 seperate archive. To extract:
159: <p>
1.2 deraadt 160: <pre>
161: # mkdir -p /usr/src
162: # cd /usr/src
163: # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
164: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 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>
1.2 deraadt 170: <pre>
171: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
172: # cd /usr/src/sys
173: # tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz
174: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 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
1.3 deraadt 178: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
179: Using these files
1.1 deraadt 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>
1.2 deraadt 189: <pre>
190: # cd /usr
191: # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
192: # cd ports
193: # ls
194: ...
195: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 196: <p>
197: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.3 deraadt 198: read <a href=ports.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
199: if you know nothing about ports
1.1 deraadt 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>
1.2 deraadt 219: <pre>
220: # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -PAd
221: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 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.
