204: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
205: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
206: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
207: <p>
208:
209: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
210: <ul>
211: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
212: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
213: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
214: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
215:
216: <p>
217: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
218: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
219:
220: <p>
221: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
222: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
223: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
224:
225: <p>
226: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
227: read INSTALL.i386.
228:
229: <p>
230: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
231: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
232: use the
233: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
234: utility. The following is an example usage of
235: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
236: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
237: "rfd0a".
238:
239: <ul><pre>
240: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
241: </pre></ul>
242:
243: <p>
244: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
245: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
246: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
247: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

251: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/amd64:</font></h3>
252: <ul>
253: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
254: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
255: your BIOS options first.
256: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
257: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
258: boot from the floppy drive.
259:
260: <p>
261: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
262: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
263: INSTALL.amd64 document.
264:
265: <p>
266: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
267: read INSTALL.amd64.

269:

271: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>
272: <ul>
273: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
274: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
275:
276: <p>
277: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

280:
281: <p>
282: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
283: <ul>
284: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
285: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
286: ROM.
287:
288: <ul><pre>
289: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
290: or
291: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
292: </pre></ul>
293:
294: <p>
295: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
296: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
297: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
298: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
299: depending on the version of your ROM.
300:
301: <ul><pre>
302: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
303: or
304: > <strong>b fd()</strong>

308: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
309: will most likely fail.
310:
311: <p>
312: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
313: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
314: INSTALL.sparc file.

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

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