249: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
250: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

281: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
282: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
283: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
284: <p>
285:
286: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
287: <ul>
288: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
289: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
290: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
291: <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
292:
293: <p>
294: Use <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyB36.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
295: support, or <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyC36.fs</i> for better laptop support.
296:
297: <p>
298: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
299: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
300: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
301:
302: <p>
303: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
304: read INSTALL.i386.
305:
306: <p>
307: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
308: at <i>CD1:3.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
309: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
310: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
311: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
312: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
313: "rfd0a".

316: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
317: </pre></ul>
318:
319: <p>
320: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
321: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
322: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
323: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

334: <ul>
335: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
336: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
337: your BIOS options first.
338: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
339: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.6/amd64/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy, then
340: boot from the floppy drive.
341:
342: <p>
343: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
344: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
345: INSTALL.amd64 document.
346:
347: <p>
348: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

353: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>

356: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
357:
358: <p>

364: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
365: <ul>
366: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
367: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
368: ROM.
369:
370: <ul><pre>
371: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.6/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
372: or
373: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.6/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
374: </pre></ul>
375:
376: <p>
377: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
378: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.6/sparc/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy.
379: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
380: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of

553: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
554: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
555: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
556: like:
557: <p>
558: <ul><pre>
559: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_6</strong>

561: <p>
562: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
563: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
564: server.]
565: <p>
566: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
567: packages for the 3.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
568: <p>
569: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
570: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
571: place to know.
