To create a boot floppy write CD1:2.9/i386/floppy29.fs to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive. *************** *** 198,233 **** If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at CD:/2.9/tools/rawrite.exe. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the dd(1) utility. The following is an example usage of dd(1), where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a". !
# dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k !
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 FAQ4.1. -

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. !
! > boot cdrom 2.9/sparc/bsd.rd or ! > b sd(0,6,0)2.9/sparc/bsd.rd !
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 FAQ4.1. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM. !

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:
-

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:

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. !
