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

300: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

302:
303: <p>
304: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
305: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
306: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

313: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
314: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
315: your BIOS options first.
316: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
317: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
318: boot from the floppy drive.
319:
320: <p>
321: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
322: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
323: INSTALL.amd64 document.

344: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
345: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
346: ROM.
347:
348: <ul><pre>
349: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

353:
354: <p>
355: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
356: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
357: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
358: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

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

581: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
582: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
583: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
584: like:
585: <p>
586: <ul><pre>

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