1.1 deraadt 133: <p>
134: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
135: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
136: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
137: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
138: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
139: purchased a CDROM instead.
140: <p>
141:
142: <hr>
143: Please refer to the following files on the three CDROMs for extensive
144: details on how to install OpenBSD 3.1 on your machine:

176:
1.1 deraadt 177: <p>
178: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
179: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
180: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
181:
1.39 bentley 182: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
183:
1.1 deraadt 184: <p>
185: 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.
186:
187: <p>
188: Use <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyB31.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
189: support, or <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyC31.fs</i> for better laptop support.
190:
191: <p>
192: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
193:
194: <p>
1.39 bentley 195: 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 200:
201: <p>
1.33 tj 202: 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 203:
204: <h3>OpenBSD/alpha:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 205:
206: <p>
207: At the SRM prompt, enter <i>boot -fi 3.1/alpha/bsd.rd dka6</i> where <i>dka6</i>
208: is the short name for the CDROM drive (you can check with <i>show dev</i>).
209:
210: <p>If you can't boot from CDROM, write <i>CD1:3.1/alpha/floppy31.fs</i> or
211: <i>CD1:3.1/alpha/floppyB31.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and
212: enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.
213:
214: <p>
215: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
216:
1.39 bentley 217: <h3>OpenBSD/macppc:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 218:
219: <p>
220: Put the CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
221: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
222:
223: <p>
224: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot
225: /3.1/macppc/bsd.rd</i>
1.39 bentley 226:
227: <h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 228:
229: <p>
230: Put the CD4 in your CDROM drive and press the spacebar during the poweron
231: self-test. Enter the boot choice that corresponds to <i>SYS_CDBOOT</i>.
232:
233: <p>
234: Alternatively, you can boot over the network by following the instructions in
235: INSTALL.hp300.
236:
1.39 bentley 237: <h3>OpenBSD/amiga:</h3>
238:
1.1 deraadt 239: <p>
240: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
241: Mount the CD4 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
242: CLI command: "CD0:3.1/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:3.1/amiga/bsd.rd".
243:
1.39 bentley 244: <h3>OpenBSD/mac68k:</h3>
245:
1.1 deraadt 246: <p>
247: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
248: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
249: CD4:3.1/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
250: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
251: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD4:3.1/mac68k/ onto your
252: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
253: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
1.39 bentley 254:
255: <h3>OpenBSD/mvme68k:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 256:
257: <p>
258: You can create a bootable installation tape or boot over the network.<br>
259: The network boot requires a MVME68K BUG version that supports the <i>NIOT</i>
260: and <i>NBO</i> debugger commands. Follow the instructions in INSTALL.mvme68k
261: for more details.
1.39 bentley 262:
263: <h3>OpenBSD/vax:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 264:
265: <p>
266: Boot over the network via mopbooting as described in INSTALL.vax.
267:
1.39 bentley 268: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>
269:
1.1 deraadt 270: <p>
271: 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.
272:
1.39 bentley 273: <blockquote><pre>
274: > <kbd>boot cdrom 3.1/sparc/bsd.rd</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 275: or
1.39 bentley 276: > <kbd>b sd(0,6,0)3.1/sparc/bsd.rd</kbd>
277: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 278:
279: <p>
1.33 tj 280: 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 281:
1.39 bentley 282: <blockquote><pre>
283: > <kbd>boot floppy</kbd>
1.1 deraadt 284: or

1.1 deraadt 287:
288: <p>
289: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
290:
291: <p>
292: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
293: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
294: INSTALL.sparc file.
295:
1.39 bentley 296: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
297:
1.1 deraadt 298: <p>
299: Put the CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
300:
301: <p>
302: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
303: <i>CD3:3.1/sparc64/floppy31.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
304: floppy</i>.<br>
305: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
306:
307: <p>
308: You can also write <i>CD3:3.1/sparc64/miniroot31.fs</i> to the swap partition on
309: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.

365: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

367: <p>
368: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
369: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
370: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
1.3 miod 371: on most architectures (over 1500 packages build on i386, for instance).

385: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
