280: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
281: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

283:
284: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
285: <ul>
286: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
287: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
288: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
289: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
290:
291: <p>
292: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
293: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
294:
295: <p>
296: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
297: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
298: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
299:
300: <p>
301: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
302: read INSTALL.i386.
303:
304: <p>
305: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
306: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
307: use the
308: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
309: utility. The following is an example usage of
310: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
311: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

315: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
316: </pre></ul>
317:
318: <p>
319: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
320: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
321: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
322: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

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

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

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

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

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