253: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
254: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
255: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
256: <p>
257:
258: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
259: <ul>
260: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
261: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
262: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
263: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
264:
265: <p>
266: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
267: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
268:
269: <p>
270: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
271: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
272: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
273:
274: <p>
275: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
276: read INSTALL.i386.
277:
278: <p>
279: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
280: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
281: use the
282: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
283: utility. The following is an example usage of
284: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
285: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
286: "rfd0a".

289: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
290: </pre></ul>
291:
292: <p>
293: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
294: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
295: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

302: The 4.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
303: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
304: your BIOS options first.
305: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
306: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
307: boot from the floppy drive.
308:
309: <p>
310: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

435: Boot from one of the provided install ISO images, using one of the two
436: commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
437:
438: <ul><pre>
439: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.4/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

445: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
446: To do so you need to write <i>floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy.
447: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
448: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
449: depending on the version of your ROM.
450:
451: <ul><pre>
452: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
453: or
454: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
455: </pre></ul>
456:
457: <p>
458: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
459: will most likely fail.
460:
461: <p>
462: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
463: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
464: INSTALL.sparc file.

475: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can

499: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
500: in a separate archive. To extract:
501: <p>
502: <ul><pre>
503: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
504: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
505: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
506: </pre></ul>
507: <p>
508: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
509: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
510: To extract:
511: <p>
512: <ul><pre>
513: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
514: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
515: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
516: </pre></ul>
517: <p>
518: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
519: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
520: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
521: Using these files
522: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
523: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

549: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
550: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
551: if you know nothing about ports
552: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
553: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
554: OpenBSD ports system.
555: <p>
556: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
557: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
558: cvs(1)</a> if
559: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
560: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
561: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
562: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
563: like:
564: <p>
565: <ul><pre>
566: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</strong>
567: </pre></ul>
568: <p>
569: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
570: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
571: server.]
572: <p>
573: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
574: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
575: <p>
576: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
577: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
578: place to know.
