1.1 david 470: <p>
471: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
472: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
473: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.109 bentley 474:
475: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
476:
1.1 david 477: <p>
478: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
479: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
480: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
481: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
482:
483: <p>
484: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
485: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
486:
487: <p>
488: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
489: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
490: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
491:
492: <p>
493: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
494: read INSTALL.i386.
495:
496: <p>
497: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
498: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
499: use the
1.109 bentley 500: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 david 501: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.109 bentley 502: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 david 503: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
504: "rfd0a".

1.1 david 509:
510: <p>
511: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
512: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
513: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
1.104 tj 514: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.

516: <h3>OpenBSD/amd64:</h3>
1.1 david 517:
518: <p>
519: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
520: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
521: your BIOS options first.
522: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
523: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
524: boot from the floppy drive.
525:
526: <p>
527: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
528: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
529: INSTALL.amd64 document.
530:
531: <p>
532: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
533: read INSTALL.amd64.

545: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>
1.1 david 546:
547: <p>
548: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
549: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
550: ROM.
551:
1.109 bentley 552: <blockquote><pre>
553: ok <kbd>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</kbd>

556: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 david 557:
558: <p>
559: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
560: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
1.104 tj 561: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.1 david 562: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
563: depending on the version of your ROM.
564:
1.109 bentley 565: <blockquote><pre>
566: ok <kbd>boot floppy</kbd>

587: <i>CD3:4.0/sparc64/floppy40.fs</i> or <i>CD3:4.0/sparc64/floppyB40.fs</i>
588: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

1.1 david 701: <p>
1.114 deraadt 702: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
703: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
1.1 david 704: in a separate archive. To extract:

706: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
707: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
708: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>

1.114 deraadt 711: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1.1 david 712: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
713: To extract:

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

743: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

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