251: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
252: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

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

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

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

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

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

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