! 155: <h3><font color="#0000e0">How to install</font></h3>
! 156: <p>
! 157: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
! 158: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
! 159: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
! 160: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
! 161: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
! 162: purchased a CDROM instead.
! 163: <p>
! 164:
! 165: <hr>
! 166: Please refer to the following files on the three CDROMs or ftp mirror for
! 167: extensive details on how to install OpenBSD 3.4 on your machine:
! 168: <p>
! 169: <ul>

! 187: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
! 188: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
! 189: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
! 190: <p>
! 191:
! 192: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 193: <ul>
! 194: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 195: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 196: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 197: <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppy34.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 198:
! 199: <p>
! 200: Use <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyB34.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
! 201: support, or <i>CD1:3.4/i386/floppyC34.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 202:
! 203: <p>
! 204: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 205:
! 206: <p>
! 207: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 208: at <i>CD:/3.4/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".
! 209:
! 210: <ul><pre>
! 211: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
! 212: </pre></ul>
! 213:
! 214: <p>
! 215: 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#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

! 222: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
! 223:
! 224: <p>

! 237: <ul>
! 238: The 3.4 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.
! 239:
! 240: <ul><pre>
! 241: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.4/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

! 244: </pre></ul>
! 245:
! 246: <p>
! 247: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
! 248: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.4/sparc/floppy34.fs" to a floppy. For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
! 249:
! 250: <ul><pre>
! 251: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
! 252: or

! 257: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
! 258:
! 259: <p>
! 260: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
! 261: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the

! 271: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write

! 274: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
! 275:
! 276: <p>
! 277: You can also write <i>CD3:3.4/sparc64/miniroot34.fs</i> to the swap partition on
! 278: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
! 279:
! 280: <p>

! 315: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
! 316: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
! 317: <i>FTP:3.4/mac68k/utils</i> onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your

! 319: "BSD/Mac68k Installer" to copy all the sets in <i>FTP:3.4/mac68k/</i> onto your
! 320: partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the "BSD/Mac68k

! 341: <ul><pre>
! 342: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>

! 346: <p>
! 347: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.

! 354: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
! 355: </pre></ul>
! 356: <p>
! 357: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
! 358: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
! 359: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
! 360: Using these files
! 361: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
! 362: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

! 372: <ul><pre>
! 373: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

! 375: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
! 376: </pre></ul>
! 377: <p>
! 378: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
! 379: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
! 380: if you know nothing about ports
! 381: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 382: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 383: OpenBSD ports system.
! 384: <p>
! 385: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
! 386: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
! 387: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
! 388: on most architectures (over 2400 packages build on i386, for instance).
! 389: <p>
! 390: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 391: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
! 392: cvs(1)</a> if
! 393: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
! 394: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
! 395: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 396: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 397: like:
! 398: <p>
! 399: <ul><pre>
! 400: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_4</strong>
! 401: </pre></ul>
! 402: <p>
! 403: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 404: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 405: server.]
! 406: <p>
! 407: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
! 408: packages for the 3.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 409: <p>
! 410: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 411: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 412: place to know.
