185: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
186: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
187: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
188: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
189: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
190: purchased a CDROM instead.

221: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
222: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
223: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
224: <p>
225:
226: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
227: <ul>
228: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
229: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
230: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
231: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
232:
233: <p>
234: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
235: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
236:
237: <p>
238: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
239: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
240: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
241:
242: <p>
243: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
244: read INSTALL.i386.
245:
246: <p>
247: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
248: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
249: use the
250: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
251: utility. The following is an example usage of
252: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
253: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
254: "rfd0a".

257: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
258: </pre></ul>
259:
260: <p>
261: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
262: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
263: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
264: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

269: <ul>
270: The 4.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
271: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
272: your BIOS options first.
273: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
274: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
275: boot from the floppy drive.
276:
277: <p>
278: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
279: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
280: INSTALL.amd64 document.
281:
282: <p>
283: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
284: read INSTALL.amd64.

509: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

517: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
518: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
519: if you know nothing about ports
520: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
521: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
522: OpenBSD ports system.
523: <p>
524: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
525: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">

527: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
528: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
529: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
530: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
531: like:
532: <p>
533: <ul><pre>
534: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</strong>
535: </pre></ul>
536: <p>
537: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
538: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
539: server.]
540: <p>
541: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
542: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
543: <p>
544: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
545: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
546: place to know.
