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

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

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

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

590: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
591: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
592: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
593: like:
594: <p>
595: <ul><pre>
596: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_3</strong>

598: <p>
599: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
600: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
601: server.]
602: <p>
603: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
604: packages for the 4.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
605: <p>
606: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
607: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
608: place to know.
