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

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

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

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

730: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
731: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
732: if you know nothing about ports
733: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
734: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
735: OpenBSD ports system.
736: <p>
737: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
738: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
739: cvs(1)</a> if
740: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
741: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
742: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
743: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
744: like:
745: <p>
746: <ul><pre>
747: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
748: </pre></ul>
749: <p>
750: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
751: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
752: server.]
753: <p>
754: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
755: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
756: <p>
757: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
758: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
759: place to know.
