! 67: to 3.0.
! 68: <p>
! 69:
! 70: <ul>
! 71:
! 72: <li>Filesystem performance has received an incredible boost from new softupdates and dirpref code. Some tests show a 60x improvement in filesystem speed. If there is one reason to upgrade to 3.0, this is it.
! 73: <p>
! 74:
! 75: <li><a href="http://www.OpenSSH.com">OpenSSH</a> (supporting both the
! 76: SSH1 and SSH2 protocols) is now at version 3.0. Secure file transfers are

! 78: an SFTP server and client.
! 79: <p>
! 80:
! 81: <li>Extensive changes to the documentation, notably the man pages and
! 82: the Web FAQ. The manual pages now include useful examples to
! 83: supplement the explanations.

! 87: <p>
! 88:
! 89: <li>Over 1000 pre-built and tested packages.
! 90: <p>
! 91:
! 92: <li>OpenBSD 3.0 will run on the new Apple Titanium PowerBook G4.

! 94:
! 95: <li>After a 2 release hiatus, the <a href="alpha.html">OpenBSD/alpha</a> port is back with more hardware support than ever!
! 96: <p>
! 97:
! 98: <li>The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers:
! 99: <p>

! 125: <h3><font color=#0000e0>How to install</font></h3>
! 126: <p>
! 127: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
! 128: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
! 129: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
! 130: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
! 131: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
! 132: purchased a CDROM instead.
! 133: <p>
! 134:
! 135: <hr>
! 136: Please refer to the following files on the two CDROMs for extensive
! 137: details on how to install OpenBSD 3.0 on your machine:
! 138: <p>
! 139: <ul>
! 140: <li> CD1:3.0/i386/INSTALL.i386
! 141: <li> CD1:3.0/alpha/INSTALL.alpha
! 142: <p>
! 143: <li> CD2:3.0/macppc/INSTALL.powerpc
! 144: <li> CD2:3.0/mvme68k/INSTALL.mvme68k
! 145: <li> CD2:3.0/amiga/INSTALL.amiga
! 146: <li> CD2:3.0/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k
! 147: <li> CD2:3.0/hp300/INSTALL.hp300
! 148: <li> CD2:3.0/vax/INSTALL.vax
! 149: <p>
! 150: <li> CD3:3.0/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
! 151: <li> CD3:3.0/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64
! 152: </ul>
! 153: <hr>
! 154:
! 155: <p>
! 156: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
! 157: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
! 158: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
! 159: <p>
! 160:
! 161: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 162: <ul>
! 163: <p>
! 164: 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>CD1:3.0/i386/floppy30.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 165:
! 166: <p>
! 167: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 168:
! 169: <p>
! 170: To make a boot floopy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at <i>CD:/3.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".
! 171:
! 172: <ul><pre>
! 173: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
! 174: </pre></ul>
! 175:
! 176: <p>
! 177: 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>.
! 178: </ul>
! 179:
! 180: <p>
! 181: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
! 182: <ul>
! 183: <p>
! 184: The 3.0 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.
! 185:
! 186: <ul><pre>
! 187: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
! 188: or
! 189: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
! 190: </pre></ul>
! 191:
! 192: <p>
! 193: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy. To do so you need to write "CD2:3.0/sparc/floppy30.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.
! 194:
! 195: <ul><pre>
! 196: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
! 197: or
! 198: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>
! 199: </pre></ul>
! 200:
! 201: <p>
! 202: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
! 203:
! 204: <p>
! 205: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
! 206: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
! 207: INSTALL.sparc file.
! 208: </ul>
! 209:
! 210: <p>
! 211: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/amiga:</font></h3>
! 212: <ul>
! 213: <p>
! 214: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
! 215: Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
! 216: CLI command: "CD0:3.0/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:3.0/amiga/bsd.rd".
! 217: </ul>
! 218:
! 219: <p>
! 220: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/hp300:</font></h3>
! 221: <ul>
! 222: <p>
! 223: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
! 224: INSTALL.hp300.
! 225: </ul>
! 226:
! 227: <p>
! 228: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/mac68k:</font></h3>
! 229: <ul>
! 230: <p>
! 231: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
! 232: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
! 233: CD2:3.0/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
! 234: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
! 235: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD2:3.0/mac68k/ onto your
! 236: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
! 237: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
! 238: </ul>
! 239:
! 240: <p>
! 241: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/sun3:</font></h3>
! 242: <ul>
! 243: <p>
! 244: You can either setup a diskless boot or create an installation tape,
! 245: as described in INSTALL.sun3.
! 246: </ul>
! 247:
! 248: <p>
! 249: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/alpha:</font></h3>
! 250: <ul>
! 251: <p>
! 252: Get the release via ftp. Then, you can either setup a diskless boot or boot via floppy as described in INSTALL.alpha.
! 253: </p>
! 254: </ul>
! 255:
! 256: <p>
! 257: <h3><font color=#e00000>Notes about the source code:</font></h3>
! 258: <ul>
! 259: <p>
! 260: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
! 261: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
! 262: in a separate archive. To extract:
! 263: <p>
! 264: <ul><pre>
! 265: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
! 266: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
! 267: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
! 268: </pre></ul>
! 269: <p>
! 270: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
! 271: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
! 272: To extract:
! 273: <p>
! 274: <ul><pre>
! 275: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
! 276: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
! 277: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</strong>
! 278: </pre></ul>
! 279: <p>
! 280: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
! 281: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
! 282: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
! 283: Using these files
! 284: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
! 285: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
! 286: <p>
! 287: </ul>
! 288: <a name=ports></a>
! 289: <hr>
! 290: <p>
! 291: <h3><font color=#0000e0>Ports Tree</font></h3>
! 292: <p>
! 293: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
! 294: <p>
! 295: <ul><pre>
! 296: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
! 297: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
! 298: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
! 299: </pre></ul>
! 300: <p>
! 301: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
! 302: read <a href=ports.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
! 303: if you know nothing about ports
! 304: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 305: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 306: OpenBSD ports system.
! 307: <p>
! 308: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
! 309: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
! 310: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
! 311: on most architectures (over 1200 packages build on i386, for instance).
! 312: <p>
! 313: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 314: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
! 315: cvs(1)</a> if
! 316: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
! 317: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
! 318: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 319: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 320: like:
! 321: <p>
! 322: <ul><pre>
! 323: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_2_9</strong>
! 324: </pre></ul>
! 325: <p>
! 326: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 327: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 328: server.]
! 329: <p>
! 330: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
! 331: packages for the 3.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 332: <p>
! 333: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 334: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 335: place to know.
