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

318: <ul>
319: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
320: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
321: your BIOS options first.
322: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
323: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
324: boot from the floppy drive.
325:
326: <p>
327: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
328: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
329: INSTALL.amd64 document.
330:
331: <p>
332: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

337: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>

339: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
340: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
341:

348: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
349: <ul>
350: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
351: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
352: ROM.
353:
354: <ul><pre>
355: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

357: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
358: </pre></ul>
359:
360: <p>
361: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
362: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
363: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
364: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
365: depending on the version of your ROM.
366:
367: <ul><pre>
368: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
369: or
370: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
371: </pre></ul>
372:
373: <p>
374: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
375: will most likely fail.
376:
377: <p>
378: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
379: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
380: INSTALL.sparc file.
381: </ul>

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

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