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

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

305: <ul>
306: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
307: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
308: your BIOS options first.
309: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
310: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
311: boot from the floppy drive.
312:
313: <p>
314: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
315: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
316: INSTALL.amd64 document.
317:
318: <p>

336: <ul>
337: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
338: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
339: ROM.
340:
341: <ul><pre>
342: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

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

570: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

574: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
575: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
576: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
577: like:
578: <p>

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