278: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
279: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
280: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
281: <p>
282:
283: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
284: <ul>
285: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
286: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
287: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
288: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
289:
290: <p>
291: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
292: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
293:
294: <p>
295: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
296: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
297: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
298:
299: <p>
300: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
301: read INSTALL.i386.
302:
303: <p>
304: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
305: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
306: use the
307: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
308: utility. The following is an example usage of
309: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
310: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

316:
317: <p>
318: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
319: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
320: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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

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

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

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

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

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