426: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
427: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
428: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
429: <p>
430:
431: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
432: <ul>
433: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
434: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
435: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
436: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
437:
438: <p>
439: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
440: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
441:
442: <p>
443: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
444: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
445: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
446:
447: <p>
448: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
449: read INSTALL.i386.
450:
451: <p>
452: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
453: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
454: use the
455: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
456: utility. The following is an example usage of
457: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
458: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

462: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

464:
465: <p>
466: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
467: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
468: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

475: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
476: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
477: your BIOS options first.
478: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
479: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
480: boot from the floppy drive.
481:
482: <p>
483: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

738: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
739: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
740: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
741: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
742: like:
743: <p>
744: <ul><pre>
745: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
746: </pre></ul>
747: <p>
748: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
749: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
750: server.]
751: <p>
752: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
753: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
754: <p>
755: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
756: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
757: place to know.
