230: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
231: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
232: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
233: <p>
234:
235: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
236: <ul>
237: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
238: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
239: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
240: <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
241:
242: <p>
243: Use <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyB36.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
244: support, or <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyC36.fs</i> for better laptop support.
245:
246: <p>
247: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
248: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
249: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
250:
251: <p>
252: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
253: read INSTALL.i386.
254:
255: <p>
256: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
257: at <i>CD1:3.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
258: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
259: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
260: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
261: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
262: "rfd0a".
263:
264: <ul><pre>
265: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
266: </pre></ul>
267:
268: <p>
269: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
270: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
271: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
272: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

282: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/amd64:</font></h3>
283: <ul>
284: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
285: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
286: your BIOS options first.
287: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
288: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.6/amd64/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy, then
289: boot from the floppy drive.
290:
291: <p>
292: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
293: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
294: INSTALL.amd64 document.
295:

305: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
306:

314: <ul>
315: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
316: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
317: ROM.
318:
319: <ul><pre>
320: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.6/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

322: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.6/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
323: </pre></ul>
324:
325: <p>
326: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
327: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.6/sparc/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy.
328: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
329: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of

460: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.

469: <p>
470: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
471: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
472: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
473: Using these files
474: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
475: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

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