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

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

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

276:
277: <p>
278: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>
279: <ul>
280: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
281: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
282:
283: <p>
284: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

287:
288: <p>
289: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
290: <ul>
291: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
292: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
293: ROM.
294:
295: <ul><pre>
296: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
297: or
298: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
299: </pre></ul>
300:
301: <p>
302: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
303: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
304: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
305: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
306: depending on the version of your ROM.
307:
308: <ul><pre>
309: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
310: or

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

466: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file

468: in a separate archive. To extract:

470: <ul><pre>
471: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>

476: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
477: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
478: To extract:
479: <p>
480: <ul><pre>
481: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

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

517: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
518: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page

520: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
521: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
522: OpenBSD ports system.
523: <p>
524: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

527: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
528: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
529: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
530: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
531: like:
532: <p>
533: <ul><pre>
534: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
535: </pre></ul>
536: <p>
537: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
538: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
539: server.]
540: <p>
541: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
542: packages for the 4.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
543: <p>
544: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
545: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
546: place to know.
