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

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

302: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
303:

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

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

450: <p>
451: <ul><pre>
452: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
453: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
454: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
455: </pre></ul>
456: <p>
457: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
458: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
459: To extract:
460: <p>
461: <ul><pre>
462: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
463: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
464: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
465: </pre></ul>
466: <p>
467: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
468: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
469: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
470: Using these files
471: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
472: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

482: <ul><pre>

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