194: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
195: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

228: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
229: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
230: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
231: <p>
232:
233: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
234: <ul>
235: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
236: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
237: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
238: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
239:
240: <p>
241: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
242: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
243:
244: <p>
245: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
246: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
247: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
248:
249: <p>
250: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
251: read INSTALL.i386.
252:
253: <p>
254: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
255: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
256: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
257: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
258: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
259: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
260: "rfd0a".
261:
262: <ul><pre>
263: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
264: </pre></ul>
265:
266: <p>
267: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
268: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
269: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
270: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

275: <ul>
276: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
277: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
278: your BIOS options first.
279: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
280: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
281: boot from the floppy drive.
282:
283: <p>
284: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
285: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
286: INSTALL.amd64 document.
287:
288: <p>

308: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
309: ROM.
310:
311: <ul><pre>
312: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

315: </pre></ul>
316:
317: <p>
318: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
319: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
320: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
321: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

474: <ul><pre>
475: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>

477: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>

483: <p>
484: <ul><pre>
485: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

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

522: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
523: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
524: if you know nothing about ports
525: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
526: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
527: OpenBSD ports system.
528: <p>
529: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
530: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
531: cvs(1)</a> if
532: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
533: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
534: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
535: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
536: like:
537: <p>
538: <ul><pre>
539: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_8</strong>
540: </pre></ul>
541: <p>
542: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
543: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
544: server.]
545: <p>
546: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
547: packages for the 3.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
548: <p>
549: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
550: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
551: place to know.
