<p>

Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

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

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

<p>

<h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>

<h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>

<ul>

<p>

Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386 release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write <i>CD1:2.9/i386/floppy29.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.

Line 198

Line 214

If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.

<p>

To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at <i>CD:/2.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".

# <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

</pre></ul>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to <a href="faq/faq4.html#4.1">FAQ4.1</a>.

</ul>

<h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>

<p>

<h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>

<ul>

<p>

The 2.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD2. To boot off of this CD you can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.

> <strong>boot cdrom 2.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

> <kbd>boot cdrom 2.9/sparc/bsd.rd</kbd>

> <strong>b sd(0,6,0)2.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

> <kbd>b sd(0,6,0)2.9/sparc/bsd.rd</kbd>

</pre></ul>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy. To do so you need to write "CD2:2.9/sparc/floppy29.fs" to a floppy. For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#4.1">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.

> <strong>boot floppy</strong>

> <kbd>boot floppy</kbd>

> <strong>boot fd()</strong>

</pre></ul>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.

Line 236

Line 250

If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either

setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the

INSTALL.sparc file.

</ul>

<h3>OpenBSD/amiga:</h3>

<p>

<h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/amiga:</font></h3>

<ul>

<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: "CD0:2.9/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.9/amiga/bsd.rd".

</ul>

<h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>

<p>

<h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/hp300:</font></h3>

<ul>

<p>

You can boot over the network by following the instructions in

INSTALL.hp300.

</ul>

<h3>OpenBSD/mac68k:</h3>

<p>

<h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/mac68k:</font></h3>

<ul>

<p>

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

configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from

CD2:2.9/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your

Line 266

Line 274

BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD2:2.9/mac68k/ onto your

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

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

</ul>

<h3>OpenBSD/sun3:</h3>

<p>

<h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/sun3:</font></h3>

<ul>

<p>

You can either setup a diskless boot or create an installation tape,

as described in INSTALL.sun3.

</ul>

<h3>OpenBSD/alpha:</h3>

<p>

<h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/alpha:</font></h3>

<ul>

<p>

Get the release via ftp. Then, you can either setup a diskless boot or boot via floppy as described in INSTALL.alpha.

</ul>

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

<p>

<h3><font color=#e00000>Notes about the source code:</font></h3>

<ul>

<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:

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

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

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

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

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

# <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>

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

</pre></ul>

<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:

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

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

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

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

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

# <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>

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

</pre></ul>

<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>.

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>

</ul>

<h3>Ports Tree</h3>

<p>

<h3><font color=#0000e0>Ports Tree</font></h3>

<p>

A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

<p>

# <strong>cd /usr</strong>

# <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>

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

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

# <strong>cd ports</strong>

# <kbd>cd ports</kbd>

</pre></ul>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

The <i>ports/</i> 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 342

Line 350

on most architectures (over 1200 packages build on i386, for instance).

<p>

The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

cvs(1)</a> if

you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete

source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in

Line 358

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

like:

# <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_2_9</strong>

</pre></ul>

</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

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

place to know.
