How to install

Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate *************** *** 65,87 **** so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had purchased a CDROM instead.

Please refer to the following files on the two CDROMs for extensive details on how to install OpenBSD 2.6 on your machine:
- CD1:2.6/i386/INSTALL.i386 !
- CD1:2.6/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
!
- CD2:2.6/alpha/INSTALL.alpha !
- CD2:2.6/amiga/INSTALL.amiga !
- CD2:2.6/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k !
- CD2:2.6/hp300/INSTALL.hp300 !
!
- A pmax release is available on the ftp sites, but not on the CDs. !

amiga:

Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section. Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following CLI command: "CD0:2.6/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.6/amiga/bsd.rd".
!
hp300:

You can boot over the network by following the instructions in INSTALL.hp300.
!
alpha:

Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you can try "boot -fi 2.6/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your --- 162,179 ---- the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.

mac68k:

Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from --- 181,187 ---- 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.

Notes about the source code:

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:
!
```
! # mkdir -p /usr/src
! # cd /usr/src
! # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
! 
```
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:
!
```
! # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
! # cd /usr/src
! # tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz
! 
```
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 http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html. 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.

!
PORTS TREE

A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
!
```
! # cd /usr
! # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
! # cd ports
! # ls
  ...
! 
```
The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go read http://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/faq15.html --- 192,244 ---- Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
