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>.
183: </ul>

185: <p>
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.
195:
196: <p>
197: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.

202: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>
203: <ul>
204: <p>
205: Put the CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
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>

222: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/hp300:</font></h3>
223: <ul>
224: <p>
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.

234: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/amiga:</font></h3>
235: <ul>
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".

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:
265: <p>
266: <h3><font color=#e00000>OpenBSD/vax:</font></h3>
267: <ul>
268: <p>
269: Boot over the network via mopbooting as described in INSTALL.vax.
270: </ul>
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>

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>

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.

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
1.3 ! miod 377: on most architectures (over 1500 packages build on i386, for instance).
1.1 deraadt 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>

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.
