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

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

317: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

319:
320: <p>
321: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
322: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
323: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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

540: <ul><pre>
541: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

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

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

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

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

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