244: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style

278: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
279: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
280: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
281: <p>
282:
283: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
284: <ul>
285: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
286: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
287: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
288: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
289:
290: <p>
291: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
292: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
293:
294: <p>
295: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
296: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
297: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
298:
299: <p>
300: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
301: read INSTALL.i386.
302:
303: <p>
304: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
305: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
306: use the
307: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
308: utility. The following is an example usage of
309: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
310: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
311: "rfd0a".

314: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
315: </pre></ul>
316:
317: <p>
318: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
319: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
320: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

327: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
328: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
329: your BIOS options first.
330: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
331: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
332: boot from the floppy drive.
333:
334: <p>
335: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
336: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

537: <ul><pre>
538: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

543: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
544: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
545: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
546: Using these files

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

577: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
578: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

580: <p>
581: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

584: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
585: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
586: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
587: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
588: like:
589: <p>
590: <ul><pre>
591: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_3</strong>
592: </pre></ul>
593: <p>
594: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
595: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
596: server.]
597: <p>
598: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
599: packages for the 4.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
600: <p>
601: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
602: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
603: place to know.
