181: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
182: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
183: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
184: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
185: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
186: purchased a CDROM instead.

217: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
218: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
219: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
220: <p>
221:
222: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
223: <ul>
224: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
225: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
226: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
227: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
228:
229: <p>
230: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
231: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
232:
233: <p>
234: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
235: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
236: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
237:
238: <p>
239: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
240: read INSTALL.i386.
241:
242: <p>
243: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
244: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
245: use the
246: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
247: utility. The following is an example usage of
248: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
249: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
250: "rfd0a".
251:
252: <ul><pre>
253: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
254: </pre></ul>
255:
256: <p>
257: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
258: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
259: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
260: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

265: <ul>
266: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
267: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
268: your BIOS options first.
269: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
270: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
271: boot from the floppy drive.
272:
273: <p>
274: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
275: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
276: INSTALL.amd64 document.
277:
278: <p>
279: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
280: read INSTALL.amd64.

300: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
301: <i>CD3:4.5/sparc64/floppy45.fs</i> or <i>CD3:4.5/sparc64/floppyB45.fs</i>
302: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

336: then load bsd.rd, see INSTALL.armish for specific details.
337: IOData HDL-G can only boot from an EXT-2 partition. Boot into linux
338: and copy 'boot' and bsd.rd into the first partition on wd0 (hda1)

496: If you already have an OpenBSD 4.4 system, and do not want to reinstall,

504: <p>
505: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
506: <p>
507: <ul><pre>
508: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
509: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
510: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
511: </pre></ul>
512: <p>
513: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
514: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
515: if you know nothing about ports
516: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
517: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
518: OpenBSD ports system.
519: <p>
520: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
521: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
522: cvs(1)</a> if
523: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
524: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
525: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
526: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
527: like:
528: <p>
529: <ul><pre>
530: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</strong>
531: </pre></ul>
532: <p>
533: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
534: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
535: server.]
536: <p>
537: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
538: packages for the 4.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
539: <p>
540: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
541: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
542: place to know.
