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
77: encouraged using the greatly enhanced SFTP subsystem which now comes both with
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.
84: <p>
85:
86: <li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
87: <p>
88:
89: <li>Over 1000 pre-built and tested packages.

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

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>

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.
