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

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

319: The 4.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
320: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
321: your BIOS options first.
322: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
323: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
324: boot from the floppy drive.
325:

529: <ul><pre>

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

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

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

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

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