1.1 deraadt 50: <p>
1.9 deraadt 51: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
1.33 deraadt 52: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
53: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
54: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
55: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
56: purchased a CDROM instead.

90: <section id=quickinstall>
1.1 deraadt 91: <p>
92: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
93: use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
94: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.46 ! bentley 95:
1.45 deraadt 96: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 97: <p>
98: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
1.4 deraadt 99: CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.3/i386/floppy23.fs to a
1.1 deraadt 100: floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
101: operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
102: document.
103: <p>
104: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.3/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
1.22 wvdputte 105: Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
1.1 deraadt 106: be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect
107: floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.
1.46 ! bentley 108:
1.45 deraadt 109: <h3>OpenBSD/arc:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 110: <p>
111: Using CD1, tell the BOOT ROM to load the file CD1:\2.3\arc\bsd.rd. If
112: that does not work, create a MS-DOS filesystem using your vendor's arc
113: setup program, copy CD1:2.3/arc/bsd.rd to there and attempt to boot
114: it.
1.46 ! bentley 115:
1.45 deraadt 116: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 117: <p>
118: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.3/sparc/bsd.rd", or
119: "b sd(0,6,0)2.3/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
1.4 deraadt 120: Alternatively, write CD1:2.3/sparc/floppy23.fs to a floppy and boot it
1.1 deraadt 121: using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
122: Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.3/sparc/kc.fs and
1.14 ryker 123: CD1:2.3/sparc/inst.fs to two separate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
1.1 deraadt 124: and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
125: floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
126: the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
127: re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
1.46 ! bentley 128:
1.45 deraadt 129: <h3>OpenBSD/pmax:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 130: <p>
1.4 deraadt 131: Write the simpleroot23.fs onto the start of the disk using dd on another
1.1 deraadt 132: machine. After moving the disk drive, use "boot -f rz(0,0,0)/bsd"
133: (2100/3100) or "boot 5/rz0a/bsd" (5000). Alternatively, install via
134: network as described in detail in INSTALL.pmax.
1.46 ! bentley 135:
1.45 deraadt 136: <h3>OpenBSD/amiga:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 137: <p>
138: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
139: Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
140: CLI command: "CD0:2.3/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.3/amiga/bsd.rd".
1.46 ! bentley 141:
1.45 deraadt 142: <h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 143: <p>
144: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
145: INSTALL.hp300.
1.46 ! bentley 146:
1.45 deraadt 147: <h3>OpenBSD/alpha:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 148: <p>
149: Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you
150: can try "boot -fi 2.3/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your
151: CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.3/alpha/floppy.fs to a
152: floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place
153: bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.
1.46 ! bentley 154:
1.45 deraadt 155: <h3>OpenBSD/mac68k:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 156: <p>
157: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
158: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
159: CD1:2.3/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
160: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
161: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.3/mac68k/ onto your
162: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
163: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
1.46 ! bentley 164:
1.45 deraadt 165: <h3>OpenBSD/mvme68k:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 166: <p>
167: Theo has no real idea. In the rush to get everything else done, the
168: install stuff for the mvme68k was never completed. Enough pieces are
169: included so that a really skilled person could find a way to install
170: it; perhaps using netbooting. Good luck!

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

218: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.46 ! bentley 219: read <a href="faq/faq15.html">https://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
1.14 ryker 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:
1.45 deraadt 239: <blockquote><pre>
240: # <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd</kbd>
241: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 242: <p>
243: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
244: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
245: server.]
246: <p>
247: Again, it's important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
248: this is a very new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
249: completely.
250: <p>
251: Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
252: interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1.45 deraadt 253: would like to know more, the mailing list
254: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
