! 124: <h3><font color=#0000e0>How to install</font></h3>
! 125: <p>
! 126: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
! 127: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
! 128: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
! 129: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
! 130: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
! 131: purchased a CDROM instead.
! 132: <p>
! 133:
! 134: <hr>
! 135: Please refer to the following files on the three CDROMs for extensive
! 136: details on how to install OpenBSD 3.1 on your machine:

! 157: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
! 158: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
! 159: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
! 160: <p>
! 161:
! 162: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 163: <ul>
! 164: <p>
! 165: 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>CD1:3.1/i386/floppy31.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 166:
! 167: <p>
! 168: Use <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyB31.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
! 169: support, or <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyC31.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 170:
! 171: <p>
! 172: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 173:
! 174: <p>
! 175: To make a boot floopy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at <i>CD:/3.1/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".
! 176:
! 177: <ul><pre>
! 178: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
! 179: </pre></ul>
! 180:
! 181: <p>
! 182: 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>.

! 186: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/alpha:</font></h3>
! 187: <ul>
! 188: <p>
! 189: At the SRM prompt, enter <i>boot -fi 3.1/alpha/bsd.rd dka6</i> where <i>dka6</i>
! 190: is the short name for the CDROM drive (you can check with <i>show dev</i>).
! 191:
! 192: <p>If you can't boot from CDROM, write <i>CD1:3.1/alpha/floppy31.fs</i> or
! 193: <i>CD1:3.1/alpha/floppyB31.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and
! 194: enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.

! 206: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
! 207:
! 208: <p>
! 209: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot
! 210: /3.1/macppc/bsd.rd</i>
! 211: <p>
! 212: Due to an error in how the CD was produced for the 3.1 Release,
! 213: the following modified command should be used: <i>boot cd:,OFWBOOT
! 214: /3.1/macppc/bsd.rd</i>.
! 215: This command may not work on some older New World systems,
! 216: iMac (Rev A - Rev C); on these machines it will be necessary to
! 217: copy the ofwboot and /3.1/macppc/bsd.rd to the first HFS partition on
! 218: the harddrive and boot using <i>boot hd:,OFWBOOT /bsd.rd</i>.
! 219: </ul>

! 225: Put the CD4 in your CDROM drive and press the spacebar during the poweron
! 226: self-test. Enter the boot choice that corresponds to <i>SYS_CDBOOT</i>.
! 227:
! 228: <p>
! 229: Alternatively, you can boot over the network by following the instructions in
! 230: INSTALL.hp300.
! 231: </ul>
! 232:

! 236: <p>
! 237: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
! 238: Mount the CD4 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
! 239: CLI command: "CD0:3.1/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:3.1/amiga/bsd.rd".
! 240: </ul>
! 241:
! 242: <p>
! 243: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/mac68k:</font></h3>
! 244: <ul>
! 245: <p>
! 246: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
! 247: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
! 248: CD4:3.1/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
! 249: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
! 250: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD4:3.1/mac68k/ onto your
! 251: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
! 252: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
! 253: </ul>
! 254:
! 255: <p>
! 256: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/mvme68k:</font></h3>
! 257: <ul>
! 258: <p>
! 259: You can create a bootable installation tape or boot over the network.<br>
! 260: The network boot requires a MVME68K BUG version that supports the <i>NIOT</i>
! 261: and <i>NBO</i> debugger commands. Follow the instructions in INSTALL.mvme68k
! 262: for more details.
! 263: </ul>
! 264:

! 271:
! 272: <p>
! 273: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
! 274: <ul>
! 275: <p>
! 276: The 3.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
! 277:
! 278: <ul><pre>
! 279: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
! 280: or
! 281: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
! 282: </pre></ul>
! 283:
! 284: <p>
! 285: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy. To do so you need to write "CD3:3.1/sparc/floppy31.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.
! 286:
! 287: <ul><pre>
! 288: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
! 289: or
! 290: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>
! 291: </pre></ul>
! 292:
! 293: <p>
! 294: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
! 295:
! 296: <p>
! 297: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
! 298: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
! 299: INSTALL.sparc file.
! 300: </ul>
! 301:
! 302: <p>
! 303: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>
! 304: <ul>
! 305: <p>
! 306: Put the CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
! 307:
! 308: <p>
! 309: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
! 310: <i>CD3:3.1/sparc64/floppy31.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
! 311: floppy</i>.<br>
! 312: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
! 313:
! 314: <p>
! 315: You can also write <i>CD3:3.1/sparc64/miniroot31.fs</i> to the swap partition on
! 316: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
! 317:
! 318: <p>
! 319: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64
! 320: </ul>

! 323: <h3><font color=#e00000>Notes about the source code:</font></h3>
! 324: <ul>
! 325: <p>
! 326: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
! 327: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
! 328: in a separate archive. To extract:
! 329: <p>
! 330: <ul><pre>
! 331: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
! 332: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
! 333: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
! 334: </pre></ul>
! 335: <p>
! 336: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
! 337: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
! 338: To extract:
! 339: <p>
! 340: <ul><pre>
! 341: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
! 342: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
! 343: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</strong>
! 344: </pre></ul>
! 345: <p>
! 346: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
! 347: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
! 348: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
! 349: Using these files
! 350: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
! 351: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
! 352: <p>
! 353: </ul>
! 354: <a name=ports></a>
! 355: <hr>
! 356: <p>
! 357: <h3><font color=#0000e0>Ports Tree</font></h3>
! 358: <p>
! 359: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
! 360: <p>
! 361: <ul><pre>
! 362: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
! 363: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
! 364: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
! 365: </pre></ul>
! 366: <p>
! 367: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
! 368: read <a href=ports.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
! 369: if you know nothing about ports
! 370: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 371: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 372: OpenBSD ports system.
! 373: <p>
! 374: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
! 375: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
! 376: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
! 377: on most architectures (over 1200 packages build on i386, for instance).
! 378: <p>
! 379: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 380: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
! 381: cvs(1)</a> if
! 382: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
! 383: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
! 384: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 385: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 386: like:
! 387: <p>
! 388: <ul><pre>
! 389: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_0</strong>
! 390: </pre></ul>
! 391: <p>
! 392: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 393: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 394: server.]
! 395: <p>
! 396: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
! 397: packages for the 3.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 398: <p>
! 399: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 400: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 401: place to know.
