use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when

installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

<h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>

<p>

Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a

CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.5/i386/floppy25.fs to a

floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.

<p>

<h3>SPARC:</h3>

<h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>

<p>

To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.5/sparc/bsd.rd", or

"b sd(0,6,0)2.5/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.

the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply

re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.

<p>

<h3>AMIGA:</h3>

<h3>OpenBSD/amiga:</h3>

<p>

Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.

Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following

CLI command: "CD0:2.5/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.5/amiga/bsd.rd".

<p>

<h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>

<p>

You can boot over the network by following the instructions in

INSTALL.hp300.

<p>

<h3>ALPHA:</h3>

<h3>OpenBSD/alpha:</h3>

<p>

Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you

can try "boot -fi 2.5/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your

floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place

bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.

<p>

<h3>OpenBSD/mac68k:</h3>

Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX

configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from

<h3>NOTES ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:</h3>

<h3>Notes about the source code</h3>

<p>

src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file

contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are

in a separate archive. To extract:

<p>

<pre>

# mkdir -p /usr/src

# <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>

# cd /usr/src

# <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>

# tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz

# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>

</pre>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.

This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.

To extract:

<p>

<pre>

# mkdir -p /usr/src/sys

# <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>

# cd /usr/src

# <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>

# tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz

# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</kbd>

</pre>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it

is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as

described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.

described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

Using these files

results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from

a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

<h3>PORTS TREE</h3>

<h3>Ports Tree</h3>

<p>

A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

<p>

<pre>

# cd /usr

# <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>

# tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz

# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>

# cd ports

# <kbd>cd ports</kbd>

# ls

# <kbd>ls</kbd>

...

</pre>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

read <a href=faq/faq15.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/faq15.html</a>

Line 219

Line 217

available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

like:

<p>

<pre>

# cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd

# <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd</kbd>

</pre>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

[Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here

with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're

interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just

would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good

would like to know more, the mailing list

place to know.

<a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
