223: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
224: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
225: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
226: <p>
227:
228: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
229: <ul>
230: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
231: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
232: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
233: <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
234:
235: <p>
236: Use <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyB36.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
237: support, or <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyC36.fs</i> for better laptop support.
238:
239: <p>
240: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
241: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
242: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
243:
244: <p>
245: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
246: read INSTALL.i386.
247:
248: <p>
249: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
250: at <i>CD1:3.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
251: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
252: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
253: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
254: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
255: "rfd0a".
256:

258: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
259: </pre></ul>
260:
261: <p>
262: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
263: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
264: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
265: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

276: <ul>
277: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
278: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
279: your BIOS options first.
280: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
281: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.6/amd64/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy, then
282: boot from the floppy drive.
283:
284: <p>
285: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
286: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
287: INSTALL.amd64 document.

306: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
307: <ul>
308: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
309: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
310: ROM.
311:
312: <ul><pre>
313: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.6/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

315: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.6/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
316: </pre></ul>
317:
318: <p>
319: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
320: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.6/sparc/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy.
321: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
322: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of
323: your ROM.

463: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
464: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
465: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
466: Using these files
467: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
468: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

484: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
485: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
486: if you know nothing about ports
487: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
488: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
489: OpenBSD ports system.
490: <p>
491: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
492: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
493: cvs(1)</a> if
494: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
495: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
496: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
497: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
498: like:
499: <p>
500: <ul><pre>
501: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_6</strong>
502: </pre></ul>
503: <p>
504: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
505: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
506: server.]
507: <p>
508: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
509: packages for the 3.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
510: <p>
511: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
512: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
513: place to know.
