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 3.2 on your machine:

165: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
166: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
167: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
168: <p>
169:
170: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
171: <ul>
172: <p>
173: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
174: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
175: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
176: <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppy31.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
177:
178: <p>
179: Use <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyB31.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
180: support, or <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyC31.fs</i> for better laptop support.
181:
182: <p>
183: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
184:
185: <p>
186: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
187: at <i>CD:/3.2/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".
188:
189: <ul><pre>
190: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
191: </pre></ul>
192:
193: <p>
194: 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>.

200: <p>
201: At the SRM prompt, enter <i>boot -fi 3.2/alpha/bsd.rd dka6</i> where <i>dka6</i>
202: is the short name for the CDROM drive (you can check with <i>show dev</i>).
203:
204: <p>If you can't boot from CDROM, write <i>CD1:3.2/alpha/floppy31.fs</i> or
205: <i>CD1:3.2/alpha/floppyB31.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and
206: enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.

248: <ul>
249: <p>
250: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
251: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
252: CD4:3.2/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
253: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
254: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD4:3.2/mac68k/ onto your
255: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
256: Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
257: </ul>

259: <p>
260: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/mvme68k:</font></h3>
261: <ul>
262: <p>
263: You can create a bootable installation tape or boot over the network.<br>
264: The network boot requires a MVME68K BUG version that supports the <i>NIOT</i>
265: and <i>NBO</i> debugger commands. Follow the instructions in INSTALL.mvme68k
266: for more details.
267: </ul>
268:
269: <p>
270: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/vax:</font></h3>
271: <ul>
272: <p>
273: Boot over the network via mopbooting as described in INSTALL.vax.
274: </ul>
275:
276: <p>
277: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
278: <ul>
279: <p>
280: The 3.2 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.
281:
282: <ul><pre>
283: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
284: or
285: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
286: </pre></ul>
287:
288: <p>
289: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
290: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.2/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.
291:
292: <ul><pre>
293: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
294: or
295: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>
296: </pre></ul>
297:
298: <p>
299: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
300:
301: <p>
302: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
303: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
304: INSTALL.sparc file.
305: </ul>
306:
307: <p>
308: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>
309: <ul>
310: <p>
311: Put the CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
312:
313: <p>
314: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
315: <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/floppy31.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
316: floppy</i>.<br>
317: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
318:
319: <p>
320: You can also write <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/miniroot31.fs</i> to the swap partition on
321: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
322:
323: <p>
324: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64
325: </ul>
326:
327: <p>
328: <h3><font color="#e00000">Notes about the source code:</font></h3>
329: <ul>
330: <p>
331: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
332: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
333: in a separate archive. To extract:
334: <p>
335: <ul><pre>
336: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
337: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
338: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
339: </pre></ul>
340: <p>
341: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
342: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
343: To extract:
344: <p>
345: <ul><pre>
346: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
347: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
348: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</strong>
349: </pre></ul>
350: <p>
351: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
352: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
353: described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
354: Using these files
355: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
356: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

359: <a name="ports"></a>
360: <hr>
361: <p>
362: <h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
363: <p>
364: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
365: <p>
366: <ul><pre>
367: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
368: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
369: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
370: </pre></ul>
371: <p>
372: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
373: read <a href="ports.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
374: if you know nothing about ports
375: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
376: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
377: OpenBSD ports system.
378: <p>
379: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
380: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
381: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
382: on most architectures (over 2000 packages build on i386, for instance).
383: <p>
384: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
385: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
386: cvs(1)</a> if
387: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
388: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
389: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
390: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
391: like:
392: <p>
393: <ul><pre>
394: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3.2</strong>
395: </pre></ul>
396: <p>
397: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
398: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
399: server.]
400: <p>
401: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
402: packages for the 3.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
403: <p>
404: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
405: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
406: place to know.
