297: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
298: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
299: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
300: <p>
301:
302: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
303: <ul>
304: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
305: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
306: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
307: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
308:
309: <p>
310: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
311: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
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
316: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
317:
318: <p>
319: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
320: read INSTALL.i386.
321:
322: <p>
323: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
324: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
325: use the
326: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
327: utility. The following is an example usage of
328: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
329: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
330: "rfd0a".
331:
332: <ul><pre>
333: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
334: </pre></ul>
335:
336: <p>
337: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
338: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
339: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
340: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

345: <ul>
346: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
347: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
348: your BIOS options first.
349: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
350: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
351: boot from the floppy drive.
352:
353: <p>
354: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
355: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
356: INSTALL.amd64 document.
357:
358: <p>
359: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

364: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>

366: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
367: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
368:

375: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
376: <ul>
377: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
378: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
379: ROM.
380:
381: <ul><pre>
382: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

384: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
385: </pre></ul>
386:
387: <p>
388: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
389: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
390: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
391: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
392: depending on the version of your ROM.
393:
394: <ul><pre>
395: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
396: or
397: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
398: </pre></ul>
399:
400: <p>
401: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
402: will most likely fail.
403:
404: <p>
405: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
406: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
407: INSTALL.sparc file.
408: </ul>

623: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
624: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

626: <p>
627: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
628: packages for the 4.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
629: <p>
630: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
631: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
632: place to know.
