! 142: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
! 143: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
! 144: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had

! 176: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

! 178: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
! 179: <p>
! 180:
! 181: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 182: <ul>
! 183: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 184: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 185: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 186: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 187:
! 188: <p>
! 189: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
! 190: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 191:
! 192: <p>
! 193: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 194: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 195: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 196:
! 197: <p>
! 198: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 199: read INSTALL.i386.
! 200:
! 201: <p>
! 202: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 203: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 204: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
! 205: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
! 206: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
! 207: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
! 208: "rfd0a".
! 209:
! 210: <ul><pre>
! 211: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
! 212: </pre></ul>
! 213:
! 214: <p>
! 215: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
! 216: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
! 217: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
! 218: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

! 228: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/amd64:</font></h3>
! 229: <ul>
! 230: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
! 231: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
! 232: your BIOS options first.
! 233: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 234: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 235: boot from the floppy drive.
! 236:
! 237: <p>
! 238: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 239: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
! 240: INSTALL.amd64 document.
! 241:
! 242: <p>

! 264:
! 265: <ul><pre>
! 266: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

! 270:
! 271: <p>
! 272: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
! 273: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
! 274: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from

! 289: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either

! 457: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
! 458: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
! 459: if you know nothing about ports
! 460: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 461: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 462: OpenBSD ports system.
! 463: <p>
! 464: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

! 467: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
! 468: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
! 469: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 470: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 471: like:
! 472: <p>
! 473: <ul><pre>
! 474: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_6</strong>
! 475: </pre></ul>
! 476: <p>
! 477: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 478: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 479: server.]
! 480: <p>
! 481: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
! 482: packages for the 3.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 483: <p>
! 484: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 485: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 486: place to know.
