102: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
103: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
104: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
105: purchased a CDROM instead.

133: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
134: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
135: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
136: <p>
137:
138: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
139: <ul>
140: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
141: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
142: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 143: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 144:
145: <p>
1.2 deraadt 146: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
147: support, or <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyC35.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 deraadt 148:
149: <p>
150: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
151: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
152:
153: <p>
154: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
155: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
156: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
157: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
158: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
159: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
160: "rfd0a".
161:
162: <ul><pre>
163: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
164: </pre></ul>
165:
166: <p>
167: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
168: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
169: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
170: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

177: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
178:

198: <ul>
199: The 3.5 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
200: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
201: ROM.
202:
203: <ul><pre>
204: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.5/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

206: > <strong>boot sd(0,6,0)3.5/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
207: </pre></ul>
208:
209: <p>
210: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.2 deraadt 211: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.5/sparc/floppy35.fs" to a floppy.
1.1 deraadt 212: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
213: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of
214: your ROM.
215:
216: <ul><pre>
217: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>

225:
226: <p>
227: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either

237: <p>
238: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
1.2 deraadt 239: <i>CD3:3.5/sparc64/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

336: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
337: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
338: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
339: Using these files

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

368: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
369: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
370: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
371: like:

377: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
378: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
379: server.]
380: <p>
381: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
382: packages for the 3.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
383: <p>
384: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
385: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
