510: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

512: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

514: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
515:
1.1 deraadt 516: <p>
517: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
518: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
519: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
520: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
521:
522: <p>
523: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
524: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
525:
526: <p>
527: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
528: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
529: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
530:
531: <p>
532: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
533: read INSTALL.i386.
534:
535: <p>
536: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
537: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
538: use the
1.64 bentley 539: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 540: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.64 bentley 541: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 542: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

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

592: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
593: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.

598:
599: <p>
600: You can also write <i>CD3:4.4/sparc64/miniroot44.fs</i> to the swap partition on

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

1.1 deraadt 788: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
789: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
790: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
791: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
792: like:

1.66 deraadt 794: # <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</kbd>

1.1 deraadt 796: <p>
797: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
798: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
799: server.]
800: <p>
1.66 deraadt 801: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.1 deraadt 802: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
803: <p>
804: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1.66 deraadt 805: would like to know more, the mailing list
806: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
