300: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
301: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
302: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
303: <p>
304:
305: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
306: <ul>
307: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
308: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
309: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
310: <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
311:
312: <p>
313: Use <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyB36.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
314: support, or <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyC36.fs</i> for better laptop support.
315:
316: <p>
317: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
318: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
319: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
320:
321: <p>
322: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
323: read INSTALL.i386.
324:
325: <p>
326: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
327: at <i>CD1:3.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
328: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
329: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
330: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
331: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

335: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
336: </pre></ul>
337:
338: <p>
339: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
340: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
341: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

354: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
355: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
356: your BIOS options first.
357: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
358: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.6/amd64/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy, then
359: boot from the floppy drive.
360:
361: <p>
362: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
363: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

572: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
573: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
574: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
575: like:
576: <p>
577: <ul><pre>
578: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_6</strong>

581: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
582: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
583: server.]
584: <p>
585: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
586: packages for the 3.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
587: <p>
588: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
589: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
590: place to know.
