1.1 deraadt 148: <p>
149: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
150: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
151: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
152: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
153: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
154: purchased a CDROM instead.
155: <p>
156:

1.1 deraadt 184: <p>
185: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
186: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
187: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
188:
1.39 bentley 189: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
190:
1.1 deraadt 191: <p>
192: 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.
193:
194: <p>
195: Use <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyB31.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
196: support, or <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyC31.fs</i> for better laptop support.
197:
198: <p>
199: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
200:
201: <p>
1.39 bentley 202: To make a boot floppy 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="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".
1.1 deraadt 203:
1.39 bentley 204: <blockquote><pre>
1.1 deraadt 205: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
1.39 bentley 206: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 207:
208: <p>
1.33 tj 209: 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">this page</a>.
1.39 bentley 210:
211: <h3>OpenBSD/alpha:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 212:
213: <p>
214: At the SRM prompt, enter <i>boot -fi 3.1/alpha/bsd.rd dka6</i> where <i>dka6</i>
215: is the short name for the CDROM drive (you can check with <i>show dev</i>).
216:
217: <p>If you can't boot from CDROM, write <i>CD1:3.1/alpha/floppy31.fs</i> or
218: <i>CD1:3.1/alpha/floppyB31.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and
219: enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.
220:
221: <p>
222: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
223:
1.39 bentley 224: <h3>OpenBSD/macppc:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 225:
226: <p>
227: Put the CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
228: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
229:
230: <p>
231: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot
232: /3.1/macppc/bsd.rd</i>
1.39 bentley 233:
234: <h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 235:
236: <p>
237: Put the CD4 in your CDROM drive and press the spacebar during the poweron
238: self-test. Enter the boot choice that corresponds to <i>SYS_CDBOOT</i>.
239:
240: <p>
241: Alternatively, you can boot over the network by following the instructions in
242: INSTALL.hp300.
243:
1.39 bentley 244: <h3>OpenBSD/amiga:</h3>
245:
1.1 deraadt 246: <p>
247: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
248: Mount the CD4 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
249: CLI command: "CD0:3.1/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:3.1/amiga/bsd.rd".
250:
1.39 bentley 251: <h3>OpenBSD/mac68k:</h3>
252:
1.1 deraadt 253: <p>
254: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
255: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
256: CD4:3.1/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
257: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
258: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD4:3.1/mac68k/ onto your
259: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
260: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
1.39 bentley 261:
262: <h3>OpenBSD/mvme68k:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 263:
264: <p>
265: You can create a bootable installation tape or boot over the network.<br>
266: The network boot requires a MVME68K BUG version that supports the <i>NIOT</i>
267: and <i>NBO</i> debugger commands. Follow the instructions in INSTALL.mvme68k
268: for more details.
1.39 bentley 269:
270: <h3>OpenBSD/vax:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 271:
272: <p>
273: Boot over the network via mopbooting as described in INSTALL.vax.
274:
1.39 bentley 275: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>
276:
1.1 deraadt 277: <p>
278: 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.
279:
1.39 bentley 280: <blockquote><pre>
281: > <kbd>boot cdrom 3.1/sparc/bsd.rd</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 282: or
1.39 bentley 283: > <kbd>b sd(0,6,0)3.1/sparc/bsd.rd</kbd>
284: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 285:
286: <p>
1.33 tj 287: 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">this page</a>. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
1.1 deraadt 288:
1.39 bentley 289: <blockquote><pre>
290: > <kbd>boot floppy</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 291: or
292: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>
1.39 bentley 293: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 294:
295: <p>
296: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
297:
298: <p>
299: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
300: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
301: INSTALL.sparc file.
302:
1.39 bentley 303: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
304:
1.1 deraadt 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

378: <p>
379: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
