243: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
244: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
245: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
246: <p>
247:
248: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
249: <ul>
250: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
251: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
252: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
253: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
254:
255: <p>
256: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
257: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
258:
259: <p>
260: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
261: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
262: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
263:
264: <p>
265: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
266: read INSTALL.i386.
267:
268: <p>
269: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
270: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
271: use the
272: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
273: utility. The following is an example usage of
274: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
275: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
276: "rfd0a".
277:

279: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
280: </pre></ul>
281:
282: <p>
283: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
284: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
285: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
286: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

291: <ul>
292: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
293: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
294: your BIOS options first.
295: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
296: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
297: boot from the floppy drive.
298:
299: <p>
300: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
301: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
302: INSTALL.amd64 document.
303:
304: <p>
305: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

312: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
313: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
314:
315: <p>

321: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
322: <ul>
323: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
324: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
325: ROM.
326:
327: <ul><pre>
328: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

330: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
331: </pre></ul>
332:
333: <p>
334: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
335: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
336: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
337: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
338: depending on the version of your ROM.
339:

341: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
342: or

347: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
348: will most likely fail.
349:
350: <p>
351: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
352: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
353: INSTALL.sparc file.

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

557: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
558: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
559: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
560: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
561: like:
562: <p>
563: <ul><pre>
564: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
565: </pre></ul>
566: <p>
567: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
568: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
569: server.]
570: <p>
571: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
572: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
573: <p>
574: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
575: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
576: place to know.
