! 217: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
! 218: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
! 219: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

! 221:
! 222: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 223: <ul>
! 224: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 225: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 226: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 227: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 228:
! 229: <p>
! 230: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 231: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 232:
! 233: <p>
! 234: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 235: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 236: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 237:
! 238: <p>
! 239: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 240: read INSTALL.i386.
! 241:
! 242: <p>
! 243: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 244: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 245: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
! 246: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
! 247: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 248: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
! 249: "rfd0a".
! 250:

! 252: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
! 253: </pre></ul>
! 254:
! 255: <p>
! 256: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
! 257: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
! 258: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
! 259: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

! 264: <ul>
! 265: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
! 266: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
! 267: your BIOS options first.
! 268: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 269: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 270: boot from the floppy drive.
! 271:
! 272: <p>
! 273: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 274: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
! 275: INSTALL.amd64 document.
! 276:

! 296: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
! 297: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
! 298: ROM.
! 299:
! 300: <ul><pre>
! 301: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

! 305:

! 307: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
! 308: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
! 309: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
! 310: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

! 480: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
! 481: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
! 482: Using these files

! 511: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

! 517: <p>
! 518: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

! 523: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 524: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 525: like:
! 526: <p>
! 527: <ul><pre>
! 528: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_8</strong>
! 529: </pre></ul>
! 530: <p>
! 531: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 532: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 533: server.]
! 534: <p>
! 535: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
! 536: packages for the 3.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 537: <p>
! 538: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 539: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 540: place to know.
