268: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
269: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
270: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
271: <p>
272:
273: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
274: <ul>
275: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
276: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
277: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
278: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
279:
280: <p>
281: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
282: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
283:
284: <p>
285: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
286: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
287: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
288:
289: <p>
290: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
291: read INSTALL.i386.
292:
293: <p>
294: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
295: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
296: use the
297: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
298: utility. The following is an example usage of
299: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
300: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
301: "rfd0a".
302:
303: <ul><pre>
304: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
305: </pre></ul>
306:
307: <p>
308: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
309: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
310: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
311: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

316: <ul>
317: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
318: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
319: your BIOS options first.
320: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
321: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
322: boot from the floppy drive.
323:
324: <p>
325: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
326: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

348: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
349: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
350: ROM.
351:
352: <ul><pre>
353: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

356: </pre></ul>
357:
358: <p>
359: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
360: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
361: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
362: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
363: depending on the version of your ROM.

366: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
367: or
368: > <strong>b fd()</strong>

372: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
373: will most likely fail.
374:
375: <p>
376: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
377: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
378: INSTALL.sparc file.

579: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

583: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
584: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
585: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
586: like:
587: <p>
588: <ul><pre>
589: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
590: </pre></ul>
591: <p>
592: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
593: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
594: server.]
595: <p>
596: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
597: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
598: <p>
599: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
600: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
601: place to know.
