253: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
254: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
255: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
256: <p>
257:
258: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
259: <ul>
260: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
261: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
262: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
263: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
264:
265: <p>
266: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
267: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
268:
269: <p>
270: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
271: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
272: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
273:
274: <p>
275: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
276: read INSTALL.i386.
277:
278: <p>
279: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
280: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
281: use the
282: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
283: utility. The following is an example usage of
284: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
285: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
286: "rfd0a".

289: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
290: </pre></ul>
291:
292: <p>
293: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
294: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
295: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
296: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

301: <ul>
302: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
303: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
304: your BIOS options first.
305: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
306: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
307: boot from the floppy drive.
308:
309: <p>
310: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
311: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
312: INSTALL.amd64 document.
313:

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

332: <ul>
333: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
334: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
335: ROM.
336:
337: <ul><pre>
338: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

341: </pre></ul>
342:
343: <p>
344: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
345: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
346: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
347: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

522: <ul><pre>

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

559: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
560: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
561: if you know nothing about ports
562: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
563: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
564: OpenBSD ports system.
565: <p>
566: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

569: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
570: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
571: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
572: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
573: like:
574: <p>
575: <ul><pre>

578: <p>
579: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
580: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
581: server.]
582: <p>
583: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
584: packages for the 4.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
585: <p>
586: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
587: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
588: place to know.
