48: <h3><font color="#0000e0">How to install</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 49: <p>
50: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
1.18 deraadt 51: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
52: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
53: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
54: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
55: purchased a CDROM instead.
1.1 deraadt 56: <p>

1.10 jsyn 59: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROMs for extensive
1.1 deraadt 60: details on how to install OpenBSD 2.5 on your machine:
61: <p>
62: <dl>
63: <li> CD1:2.5/i386/INSTALL.i386
64: <li> CD1:2.5/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
65: <li> CD1:2.5/powerpc/INSTALL.powerpc
66: <p>
67: <li> CD2:2.5/alpha/INSTALL.alpha
68: <li> CD2:2.5/amiga/INSTALL.amiga
69: <li> CD2:2.5/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k
70: <li> CD2:2.5/hp300/INSTALL.hp300
71: <p>
72: <li>A pmax release is available on the ftp sites, but not on the CDs.
73: </dl>
74: <hr>
75: <p>
76: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
77: use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
78: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
79: <p>
80: <h3><font color=#e00000>i386:</font></h3>
81: <p>
82: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
83: CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.5/i386/floppy25.fs to a
84: floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
85: operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
86: document.
87: <p>
88: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.5/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
1.8 wvdputte 89: Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
1.1 deraadt 90: be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect
91: floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.
92: <p>
93: <h3><font color=#e00000>SPARC:</font></h3>
94: <p>
95: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.5/sparc/bsd.rd", or
96: "b sd(0,6,0)2.5/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
97: Alternatively, write CD1:2.5/sparc/floppy25.fs to a floppy and boot it
98: using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
99: Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.5/sparc/kc.fs and
100: CD1:2.5/sparc/inst.fs to two separate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
101: and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
102: floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
103: the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
104: re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
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: "CD0:2.5/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.5/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 2.5/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your
121: CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.5/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: CD1:2.5/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 CD1:2.5/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>NOTES ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:</font></h3>
136: <p>
137: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
138: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
139: in a separate archive. To extract:
140: <p>
141: <pre>
142: # mkdir -p /usr/src
143: # cd /usr/src
144: # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
145: </pre>
146: <p>
147: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
148: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
149: To extract:
150: <p>
151: <pre>
152: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
153: # cd /usr/src
154: # tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz
155: </pre>
156: <p>
157: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
158: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
159: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
160: Using these files
161: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
162: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
163: <p>
164: <hr>
165: <p>
166: <h3><font color=#e00000>PORTS TREE</font></h3>
167: <p>
168: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
169: <p>
170: <pre>
171: # cd /usr
172: # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
173: # cd ports
174: # ls
175: ...
176: </pre>
177: <p>
178: The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.16 jasper 179: read <a href=faq/faq15.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/faq15.html</a>
1.1 deraadt 180: if you know nothing about ports
181: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
182: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
183: OpenBSD ports system.
184: <p>
185: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because
186: the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is still a
187: young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are
188: provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that
189: ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionality in the
190: future.
191: <p>
192: As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/
193: directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't
194: familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source
195: tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
196: order to keep current with it, you must make the ports/ tree
197: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
198: like:
199: <p>
200: <pre>
1.15 deraadt 201: # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd
1.1 deraadt 202: </pre>
203: <p>
204: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
205: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
206: server.]
207: <p>
208: Again, it is important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
209: this is a new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
210: completely.
211: <p>
212: Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
213: interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
214: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
215: place to know.
