295: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
296: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
297: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
298: <p>
299:
300: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
301: <ul>
302: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
303: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
304: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
305: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
306:
307: <p>
308: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
309: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
310:
311: <p>
312: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
313: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
314: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
315:
316: <p>
317: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
318: read INSTALL.i386.
319:
320: <p>
321: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
322: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
323: use the
324: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
325: utility. The following is an example usage of
326: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
327: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
328: "rfd0a".

331: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
332: </pre></ul>
333:
334: <p>
335: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
336: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
337: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
338: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

343: <ul>
344: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
345: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
346: your BIOS options first.
347: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
348: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
349: boot from the floppy drive.
350:
351: <p>
352: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
353: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
354: INSTALL.amd64 document.

608: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_3</strong>

611: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
612: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
613: server.]
614: <p>
615: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
616: packages for the 4.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
617: <p>
618: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
619: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
620: place to know.
