136: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
137: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
138: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
139: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had

166: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
167: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
168: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

173: <p>
174: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
175: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
176: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.3 jufi 177: <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 miod 178:
179: <p>
1.3 jufi 180: Use <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyB32.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
181: support, or <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyC32.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 miod 182:
183: <p>
184: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
185:
186: <p>
187: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
188: 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".

279: <ul>
280: <p>
281: 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.
282:
283: <ul><pre>
284: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

288:
289: <p>
290: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.3 jufi 291: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.2/sparc/floppy32.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.
1.1 miod 292:
293: <ul><pre>
294: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
295: or
296: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>

299: <p>
300: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
301:
302: <p>
303: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
304: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
305: INSTALL.sparc file.

313:
314: <p>
315: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
1.3 jufi 316: <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
1.1 miod 317: floppy</i>.<br>
318: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
319:
320: <p>
1.4 henning 321: You can also write <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/miniroot32.fs</i> to the swap partition on
1.1 miod 322: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.

330: <ul>
331: <p>
332: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
333: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
334: in a separate archive. To extract:
335: <p>
336: <ul><pre>
337: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
338: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
339: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
340: </pre></ul>
341: <p>
342: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
343: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
344: To extract:
345: <p>
346: <ul><pre>
347: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
348: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
349: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</strong>
350: </pre></ul>
351: <p>
352: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
353: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1.5 miod 354: described at <a href="anoncvs.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
1.1 miod 355: Using these files
356: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
357: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

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