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

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

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

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