218: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
219: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
220: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
221: <p>
222:
223: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
224: <ul>
225: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
226: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
227: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
228: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
229:
230: <p>
231: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
232: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
233:
234: <p>
235: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
236: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
237: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
238:
239: <p>
240: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
241: read INSTALL.i386.
242:
243: <p>
244: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
245: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
246: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
247: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
248: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
249: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
250: "rfd0a".
251:
252: <ul><pre>
253: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
254: </pre></ul>
255:
256: <p>
257: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
258: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
259: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
260: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

265: <ul>
266: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
267: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
268: your BIOS options first.
269: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
270: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
271: boot from the floppy drive.
272:
273: <p>
274: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
275: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
276: INSTALL.amd64 document.
277:
278: <p>
279: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
280: read INSTALL.amd64.

286: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
287: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
288:

295: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
296: <ul>
297: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
298: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
299: ROM.
300:
301: <ul><pre>
302: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
303: or
304: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
305: </pre></ul>
306:
307: <p>
308: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
309: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
310: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
311: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
312: depending on the version of your ROM.

460: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
461: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
462: in a separate archive. To extract:
463: <p>
464: <ul><pre>
465: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
466: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
467: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
468: </pre></ul>
469: <p>
470: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
471: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
472: To extract:
473: <p>
474: <ul><pre>
475: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
476: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
477: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
478: </pre></ul>
479: <p>
480: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
481: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
482: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
483: Using these files
484: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
485: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

503: <p>
504: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
505: <p>
506: <ul><pre>
507: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

509: # <strong>cd ports</strong>

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