216: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

218: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

221: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
222: <ul>
223: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
224: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
225: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 226: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 227:
228: <p>
1.2 deraadt 229: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
230: support, or <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyC35.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 deraadt 231:
232: <p>
233: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
234: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
235:
236: <p>
237: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
238: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
239: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
240: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
241: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
242: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

293: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.2 deraadt 294: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.5/sparc/floppy35.fs" to a floppy.
1.1 deraadt 295: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from

440: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
441: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
442: if you know nothing about ports
443: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
444: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
445: OpenBSD ports system.
446: <p>
447: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
448: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
449: cvs(1)</a> if
450: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
451: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
452: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
453: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
454: like:
455: <p>
456: <ul><pre>
1.2 deraadt 457: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_5</strong>
1.1 deraadt 458: </pre></ul>
459: <p>
460: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
461: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
462: server.]
463: <p>
464: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
465: packages for the 3.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
466: <p>
467: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
468: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
469: place to know.
