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 CD1:2.8/i386/floppy28.fs to a

Line 206

Line 200

<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/config.8">config(8)</a> after a successful boot for instructions on how to re-write your kernel

to disable <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/i386/pcibios.4">pcibios(4)</a> permanently.

<p>

<h3>sparc:</h3>

<h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>

<p>

To boot off CD2, type "boot cdrom 2.8/sparc/bsd.rd", or

"b sd(0,6,0)2.8/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.

Alternatively, write CD2:2.8/sparc/floppy28.fs to a floppy and boot it

using "boot floppy" or "boot fd()" depending on your ROM version.

<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: "CD0:2.8/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.8/amiga/bsd.rd".

<p>

<h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>

<p>

You can boot over the network by following the instructions in

INSTALL.hp300.

<p>

<h3>OpenBSD/mac68k:</h3>

<p>

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

configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from

Line 234

Line 228

partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k

Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.

<p>

<h3>OpenBSD/sun3:</h3>

<p>

Get the release via ftp. Then, you can either setup a diskless boot or

create an installation tape, as described in INSTALL.sun3.

<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.

<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>

...

<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 309

Line 304

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.
