! 255: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

! 257: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

! 259:
! 260: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 261: <ul>
! 262: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 263: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 264: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 265: <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppy42.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 266:
! 267: <p>
! 268: Use <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppyB42.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 269: support, or <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppyC42.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 270:
! 271: <p>
! 272: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 273: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 274: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 275:
! 276: <p>
! 277: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 278: read INSTALL.i386.
! 279:
! 280: <p>
! 281: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 282: at <i>CD1:4.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 283: use the
! 284: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 285: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 286: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 287: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

! 293:

! 295: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

! 297: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
! 298: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

! 306: your BIOS options first.
! 307: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 308: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.2/amd64/floppy42.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 309: boot from the floppy drive.
! 310:

! 531: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
! 532: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
! 533: Using these files
! 534: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from

! 561: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

! 564: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 565: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 566: OpenBSD ports system.
! 567: <p>
! 568: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 569: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">

! 571: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
! 572: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
! 573: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 574: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 575: like:
! 576: <p>
! 577: <ul><pre>
! 578: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_2</strong>
! 579: </pre></ul>
! 580: <p>
! 581: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 582: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 583: server.]
! 584: <p>
! 585: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
! 586: packages for the 4.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 587: <p>
! 588: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 589: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 590: place to know.
