161: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
162: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
163: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
164: purchased a CDROM instead.

196: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
197: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
198: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
199: <p>
200:
201: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
202: <ul>
203: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
204: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
205: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
206: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
207:
208: <p>
209: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
210: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
211:
212: <p>
213: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
214: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
215: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
216:
217: <p>
218: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
219: read INSTALL.i386.
220:
221: <p>
222: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
223: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
224: use the
225: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
226: utility. The following is an example usage of
227: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
228: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
229: "rfd0a".
230:
231: <ul><pre>
232: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
233: </pre></ul>
234:
235: <p>
236: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
237: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
238: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
239: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

244: <ul>
245: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
246: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
247: your BIOS options first.
248: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
249: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
250: boot from the floppy drive.
251:
252: <p>
253: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
254: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
255: INSTALL.amd64 document.
256:
257: <p>
258: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
259: read INSTALL.amd64.

265: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
266: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
267:
268: <p>
269: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

274: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
275: <ul>
276: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
277: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
278: ROM.
279:
280: <ul><pre>
281: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
282: or
283: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
284: </pre></ul>
285:
286: <p>
287: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
288: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
289: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
290: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
291: depending on the version of your ROM.
292:
293: <ul><pre>
294: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
295: or

300: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
301: will most likely fail.
302:
303: <p>
304: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
305: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
306: INSTALL.sparc file.

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

494: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

496: <ul><pre>
497: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

502: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
503: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
504: if you know nothing about ports
505: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
506: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
507: OpenBSD ports system.
508: <p>
509: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
510: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
511: cvs(1)</a> if
512: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
513: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
514: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
515: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
516: like:
517: <p>
518: <ul><pre>
519: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
520: </pre></ul>
521: <p>
522: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
523: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
524: server.]
525: <p>
526: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
527: packages for the 4.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
528: <p>
529: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
530: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
531: place to know.
