458: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

462: <ul>
463: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
464: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
465: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
466: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
467:
468: <p>
469: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
470: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
471:
472: <p>
473: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
474: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
475: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
476:
477: <p>
478: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
479: read INSTALL.i386.
480:
481: <p>
482: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
483: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
484: use the
485: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
486: utility. The following is an example usage of
487: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
488: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

507: your BIOS options first.
508: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
509: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
510: boot from the floppy drive.

732: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
733: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
734: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
735: Using these files
736: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
737: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

755: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
756: <p>
757: <ul><pre>
758: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

763: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
764: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
765: if you know nothing about ports
766: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
767: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
768: OpenBSD ports system.
769: <p>
770: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
771: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
772: cvs(1)</a> if
773: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
774: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
775: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
776: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
777: like:
778: <p>
779: <ul><pre>
780: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
781: </pre></ul>
782: <p>
783: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
784: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
785: server.]
786: <p>
787: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
788: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
789: <p>
790: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
791: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
792: place to know.
