245: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
246: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
247: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
248: <p>
249:
250: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
251: <ul>
252: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
253: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
254: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
255: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
256:
257: <p>
258: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
259: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
260:
261: <p>
262: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
263: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
264: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
265:
266: <p>
267: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
268: read INSTALL.i386.
269:
270: <p>
271: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
272: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
273: use the
274: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
275: utility. The following is an example usage of
276: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
277: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
278: "rfd0a".
279:
280: <ul><pre>
281: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
282: </pre></ul>
283:
284: <p>
285: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
286: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
287: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
288: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

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

315: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
316:

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

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

349: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
350: will most likely fail.
351:

353: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
354: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the

553: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
554: OpenBSD ports system.
555: <p>
556: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

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