267: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
268: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
269: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
270: <p>
271:
272: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
273: <ul>
274: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
275: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
276: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
277: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
278:
279: <p>
280: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
281: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
282:
283: <p>
284: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
285: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
286: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
287:
288: <p>
289: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
290: read INSTALL.i386.
291:
292: <p>
293: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
294: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
295: use the
296: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
297: utility. The following is an example usage of
298: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
299: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

307: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
308: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
309: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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

526: <ul><pre>

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

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

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

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

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