175: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
176: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

210: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
211: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
212: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
213: <p>
214:
215: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
216: <ul>
217: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
218: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
219: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
220: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
221:
222: <p>
223: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
224: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
225:
226: <p>
227: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
228: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
229: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
230:
231: <p>
232: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
233: read INSTALL.i386.
234:
235: <p>
236: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
237: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
238: use the
239: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
240: utility. The following is an example usage of
241: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
242: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
243: "rfd0a".
244:
245: <ul><pre>
246: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
247: </pre></ul>
248:
249: <p>
250: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
251: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
252: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
253: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

257: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/amd64:</font></h3>
258: <ul>
259: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
260: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
261: your BIOS options first.
262: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
263: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
264: boot from the floppy drive.
265:
266: <p>
267: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
268: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
269: INSTALL.amd64 document.
270:
271: <p>
272: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
273: read INSTALL.amd64.

277: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>
278: <ul>
279: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
280: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
281:
282: <p>
283: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

288: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
289: <ul>
290: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
291: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
292: ROM.
293:
294: <ul><pre>
295: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
296: or
297: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
298: </pre></ul>
299:
300: <p>
301: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
302: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
303: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
304: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
305: depending on the version of your ROM.
306:
307: <ul><pre>
308: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
309: or

314: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
315: will most likely fail.
316:
317: <p>
318: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
319: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
320: INSTALL.sparc file.

465: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
466: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
467: in a separate archive. To extract:
468: <p>
469: <ul><pre>
470: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
471: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
472: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
473: </pre></ul>
474: <p>
475: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
476: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
477: To extract:
478: <p>
479: <ul><pre>
480: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
481: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
482: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
483: </pre></ul>
484: <p>
485: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
486: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
487: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
488: Using these files
489: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
490: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

508: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
509: <p>
510: <ul><pre>
511: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

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