427:
1.1 david 428: <p>
429: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
430: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
431: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
432: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
433: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
434: purchased a CDROM instead.
435: <p>

1.1 david 467: <p>
468: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
469: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
470: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.109 bentley 471:
472: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
473:
1.1 david 474: <p>
475: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
476: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
477: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
478: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
479:
480: <p>
481: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
482: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
483:
484: <p>
485: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
486: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
487: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
488:
489: <p>
490: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
491: read INSTALL.i386.
492:
493: <p>
494: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
495: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
496: use the
1.109 bentley 497: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 david 498: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.109 bentley 499: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 david 500: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
501: "rfd0a".
502:
1.109 bentley 503: <blockquote><pre>
1.1 david 504: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
1.109 bentley 505: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 david 506:
507: <p>
508: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
509: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
510: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
1.104 tj 511: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.109 bentley 512:
513: <h3>OpenBSD/amd64:</h3>
1.1 david 514:
515: <p>
516: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
517: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
518: your BIOS options first.
519: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
520: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
521: boot from the floppy drive.
522:
523: <p>
524: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
525: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
526: INSTALL.amd64 document.
527:
528: <p>
529: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
530: read INSTALL.amd64.
1.109 bentley 531:
532: <h3>OpenBSD/macppc:</h3>
1.1 david 533:
534: <p>
535: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
536: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
537:
538: <p>
539: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot
540: /4.0/macppc/bsd.rd</i>
1.109 bentley 541:
542: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>
1.1 david 543:
544: <p>
545: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
546: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
547: ROM.
548:
1.109 bentley 549: <blockquote><pre>
550: ok <kbd>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</kbd>
1.1 david 551: or

553: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 david 554:
555: <p>
556: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
557: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
1.104 tj 558: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.1 david 559: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
560: depending on the version of your ROM.
561:
1.109 bentley 562: <blockquote><pre>
563: ok <kbd>boot floppy</kbd>
1.1 david 564: or
1.109 bentley 565: > <kbd>b fd()</kbd>
566: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 david 567:
568: <p>
569: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
570: will most likely fail.
571:
572: <p>
573: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
574: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
575: INSTALL.sparc file.
1.109 bentley 576:
577: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
1.1 david 578:
579: <p>
580: Put CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
581:
582: <p>
583: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
584: <i>CD3:4.0/sparc64/floppy40.fs</i> or <i>CD3:4.0/sparc64/floppyB40.fs</i>
585: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
586: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
587:
588: <p>
589: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
590: will most likely fail.
591:
592: <p>
593: You can also write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc64/miniroot40.fs</i> to the swap partition on
594: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
595:
596: <p>

722: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
723: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
724: Using these files
725: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
726: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

744: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
1.1 david 745: <p>
746: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
747: <p>
1.109 bentley 748: <blockquote><pre>
749: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
750: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
751: # <kbd>cd ports</kbd>
752: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 david 753: <p>
754: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.90 jasper 755: read the <a href="faq/faq15.html">ports</a> page
1.1 david 756: if you know nothing about ports
757: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
758: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
759: OpenBSD ports system.
760: <p>
761: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.109 bentley 762: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs.1">
1.1 david 763: cvs(1)</a> if
764: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
765: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
766: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
767: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
768: like:
769: <p>
1.109 bentley 770: <blockquote><pre>
1.1 david 771: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
1.109 bentley 772: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 david 773: <p>
774: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
775: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
776: server.]
777: <p>
778: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
779: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
780: <p>
781: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
782: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
783: place to know.
