45: <h3><font color="#0000e0">How to install</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 46: <p>
47: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
1.19 deraadt 48: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
49: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
50: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
51: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
52: purchased a CDROM instead.
1.1 deraadt 53: <p>
1.19 deraadt 54:
1.1 deraadt 55: <hr>
1.11 jsyn 56: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROMs for extensive
1.1 deraadt 57: details on how to install OpenBSD 2.4 on your machine:
58: <p>
59: <dl>
60: <li> CD1:2.4/i386/INSTALL.i386
61: <li> CD1:2.4/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
62: <li> CD1:2.4/powerpc/INSTALL.powerpc
63: <p>
64: <li> CD2:2.4/alpha/INSTALL.alpha
65: <li> CD2:2.4/amiga/INSTALL.amiga
66: <li> CD2:2.4/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k
67: <li> CD2:2.4/hp300/INSTALL.hp300
1.3 deraadt 68: <p>
69: <li>A pmax release is available on the ftp sites, but not on the CDs.
1.1 deraadt 70: </dl>
71: <hr>
72: <p>
73: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
74: use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
75: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
76: <p>
77: <h3><font color=#e00000>i386:</font></h3>
78: <p>
79: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
80: CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.4/i386/floppy24.fs to a
81: floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
82: operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
83: document.
84: <p>
85: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.4/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
1.9 wvdputte 86: Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
1.1 deraadt 87: be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect
88: floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.
89: <p>
90: <h3><font color=#e00000>SPARC:</font></h3>
91: <p>
92: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.4/sparc/bsd.rd", or
93: "b sd(0,6,0)2.4/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
94: Alternatively, write CD1:2.4/sparc/floppy24.fs to a floppy and boot it
95: using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
96: Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.4/sparc/kc.fs and
97: CD1:2.4/sparc/inst.fs to two separate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
98: and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
99: floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
100: the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
101: re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
102: <p>
103: <h3><font color=#e00000>AMIGA:</font></h3>
104: <p>
105: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
106: Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
107: CLI command: "CD0:2.4/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.4/amiga/bsd.rd".
108: <p>
109: <h3><font color=#e00000>HP300:</font></h3>
110: <p>
111: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
112: INSTALL.hp300.
113: <p>
114: <h3><font color=#e00000>ALPHA:</font></h3>
115: <p>
116: Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you
117: can try "boot -fi 2.4/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your
118: CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.4/alpha/floppy.fs to a
119: floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place
120: bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.
121: <p>
122: <h3><font color=#e00000>MAC68K:</font></h3>
123: <p>
124: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
125: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
126: CD1:2.4/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
127: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
128: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.4/mac68k/ onto your
129: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
130: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
131: <p>
132: <h3><font color=#e00000>NOTES ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:</font></h3>
133: <p>
134: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
135: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
136: in a separate archive. To extract:
137: <p>
138: <pre>
139: # mkdir -p /usr/src
140: # cd /usr/src
141: # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
142: </pre>
143: <p>
144: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
145: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
146: To extract:
147: <p>
148: <pre>
149: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
1.5 deraadt 150: # cd /usr/src
1.1 deraadt 151: # tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz
152: </pre>
153: <p>
154: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
155: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
156: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
157: Using these files
158: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
159: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
160: <p>
161: <hr>
162: <p>
163: <h3><font color=#e00000>PORTS TREE</font></h3>
164: <p>
165: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
166: <p>
167: <pre>
168: # cd /usr
169: # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
170: # cd ports
171: # ls
172: ...
173: </pre>
174: <p>
175: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.17 jasper 176: read <a href=faq/faq15.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/faq15.html</a>
1.1 deraadt 177: if you know nothing about ports
178: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
179: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
180: OpenBSD ports system.
181: <p>
182: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because
1.4 espie 183: the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is still a
1.1 deraadt 184: young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are
185: provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that
186: ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionality in the
187: future.
188: <p>
189: As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/
190: directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't
191: familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source
1.4 espie 192: tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
193: order to keep current with it, you must make the ports/ tree
1.1 deraadt 194: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
195: like:
196: <p>
197: <pre>
1.16 deraadt 198: # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd
1.1 deraadt 199: </pre>
200: <p>
201: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
202: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
203: server.]
204: <p>
1.4 espie 205: Again, it is important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
206: this is a new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
1.1 deraadt 207: completely.
208: <p>
209: Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
210: interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
211: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
212: place to know.
