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

320: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
321: </pre></ul>
322:
323: <p>
324: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
325: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
326: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
327: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

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

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

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