283: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

285:
286: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
287: <ul>
288: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
289: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
290: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
291: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
292:
293: <p>
294: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
295: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
296:
297: <p>
298: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
299: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
300: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
301:
302: <p>
303: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
304: read INSTALL.i386.
305:
306: <p>
307: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
308: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
309: use the
310: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
311: utility. The following is an example usage of
312: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
313: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

319:
320: <p>
321: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
322: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
323: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

330: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
331: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
332: your BIOS options first.
333: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
334: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
335: boot from the floppy drive.
336:

361: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
362: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
363: ROM.
364:
365: <ul><pre>
366: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
367: or
368: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
369: </pre></ul>
370:
371: <p>
372: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
373: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
374: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
375: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
376: depending on the version of your ROM.
377:
378: <ul><pre>
379: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
380: or
381: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
382: </pre></ul>

384: <p>
385: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
386: will most likely fail.
387:
388: <p>
389: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
390: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
391: INSTALL.sparc file.

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

596: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
597: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
598: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
599: like:
600: <p>
601: <ul><pre>
602: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>

604: <p>
605: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
606: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
607: server.]
608: <p>
609: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
610: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
611: <p>
612: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
613: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
614: place to know.
