272: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
273: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
274: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
275: <p>
276:
277: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
278: <ul>
279: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
280: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
281: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
282: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
283:
284: <p>
285: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
286: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
287:
288: <p>
289: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
290: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
291: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
292:
293: <p>
294: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
295: read INSTALL.i386.
296:
297: <p>
298: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
299: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
300: use the
301: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
302: utility. The following is an example usage of
303: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
304: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
305: "rfd0a".

321: The 4.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
322: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
323: your BIOS options first.
324: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
325: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
326: boot from the floppy drive.
327:

531: <ul><pre>

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

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

572: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

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

578: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
579: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
580: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
581: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
582: like:
583: <p>
584: <ul><pre>
585: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</strong>
586: </pre></ul>
587: <p>
588: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
589: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
590: server.]
591: <p>
592: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
593: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
594: <p>
595: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
596: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
597: place to know.
