187: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
188: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

222: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
223: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
224: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
225: <p>
226:
227: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
228: <ul>
229: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
230: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
231: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
232: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
233:
234: <p>
235: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
236: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
237:
238: <p>
239: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
240: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
241: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
242:
243: <p>
244: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
245: read INSTALL.i386.
246:
247: <p>
248: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
249: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
250: use the
251: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
252: utility. The following is an example usage of
253: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
254: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
255: "rfd0a".
256:

258: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
259: </pre></ul>
260:
261: <p>
262: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
263: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
264: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
265: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

270: <ul>
271: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
272: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
273: your BIOS options first.
274: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
275: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
276: boot from the floppy drive.
277:
278: <p>
279: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
280: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
281: INSTALL.amd64 document.
282:
283: <p>
284: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

292: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
293:

300: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
301: <ul>
302: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
303: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
304: ROM.
305:
306: <ul><pre>
307: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

310: </pre></ul>
311:
312: <p>
313: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
314: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
315: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
316: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

488: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
489: To extract:
490: <p>
491: <ul><pre>
492: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

496: <p>
497: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
498: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
499: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
500: Using these files
501: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
502: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

528: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
529: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
530: if you know nothing about ports
531: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
532: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
533: OpenBSD ports system.
534: <p>
535: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

538: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
539: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
540: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
541: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
542: like:
543: <p>
544: <ul><pre>
1.11 david 545: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_1</strong>

547: <p>
548: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
549: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
550: server.]
551: <p>
552: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
553: packages for the 4.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
554: <p>
555: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
556: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
557: place to know.
