246: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
247: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
248: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
249: <p>
250:
251: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
252: <ul>
253: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
254: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
255: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
256: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
257:
258: <p>
259: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
260: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
261:
262: <p>
263: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
264: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
265: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
266:
267: <p>
268: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
269: read INSTALL.i386.
270:
271: <p>
272: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
273: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
274: use the
275: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
276: utility. The following is an example usage of
277: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
278: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
279: "rfd0a".
280:

282: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
283: </pre></ul>
284:
285: <p>
286: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
287: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
288: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
289: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

294: <ul>
295: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
296: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
297: your BIOS options first.
298: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
299: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
300: boot from the floppy drive.
301:
302: <p>
303: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
304: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
305: INSTALL.amd64 document.
306:
307: <p>

324: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
325: <ul>
326: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
327: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
328: ROM.
329:
330: <ul><pre>
331: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

333: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
334: </pre></ul>
335:
336: <p>
337: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
338: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
339: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
340: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
341: depending on the version of your ROM.

554: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
555: OpenBSD ports system.
556: <p>
557: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

560: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
561: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
562: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
563: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
564: like:
565: <p>
566: <ul><pre>
567: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
568: </pre></ul>
569: <p>
570: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
571: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
572: server.]
573: <p>
574: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
575: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
576: <p>
577: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
578: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
579: place to know.
