267: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
268: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
269: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
270: <p>
271:
272: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
273: <ul>
274: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
275: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
276: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
277: <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
278:
279: <p>
280: Use <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyB36.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
281: support, or <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyC36.fs</i> for better laptop support.
282:
283: <p>
284: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
285: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
286: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
287:
288: <p>
289: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
290: read INSTALL.i386.
291:
292: <p>
293: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
294: at <i>CD1:3.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
295: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
296: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
297: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
298: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
299: "rfd0a".

302: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
303: </pre></ul>
304:
305: <p>
306: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
307: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
308: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
309: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

320: <ul>
321: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
322: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
323: your BIOS options first.
324: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
325: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.6/amd64/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy, then
326: boot from the floppy drive.
327:
328: <p>
329: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
330: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
331: INSTALL.amd64 document.
332:

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

351: <ul>
352: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
353: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
354: ROM.
355:
356: <ul><pre>
357: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.6/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

359: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.6/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
360: </pre></ul>
361:
362: <p>
363: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
364: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.6/sparc/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy.
365: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
366: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of
367: your ROM.

376: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
377: will most likely fail.
378:
379: <p>
380: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
381: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
382: INSTALL.sparc file.
383: </ul>

385: <p>
386: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>

390: <p>
391: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
392: <i>CD3:3.6/sparc64/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

539: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
540: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
541: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
542: like:
543: <p>
544: <ul><pre>
545: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_6</strong>

548: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
549: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
550: server.]
551: <p>
552: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
553: packages for the 3.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
554: <p>
555: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
556: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
557: place to know.
