470: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of

472: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
473: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
474: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
475: purchased a CDROM instead.

508: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
509: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
510: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.64 bentley 511:
512: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
513:
1.1 deraadt 514: <p>
515: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
516: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
517: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
518: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
519:
520: <p>
521: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
522: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
523:
524: <p>
525: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
526: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
527: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
528:
529: <p>
530: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
531: read INSTALL.i386.
532:
533: <p>
534: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
535: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
536: use the
1.64 bentley 537: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 538: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.64 bentley 539: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 540: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

555: <p>
556: The 4.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
557: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
558: your BIOS options first.
559: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
560: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
561: boot from the floppy drive.
562:
563: <p>
564: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
565: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
566: INSTALL.amd64 document.
567:
568: <p>
569: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

752: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
753: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
754: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
755: Using these files
756: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
757: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

805: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
806: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
807: server.]
808: <p>
809: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
810: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
811: <p>
812: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
813: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
814: place to know.
