188: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of

190: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
191: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
192: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
193: purchased a CDROM instead.

224: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
225: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
226: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
227: <p>
228:
229: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
230: <ul>
231: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
232: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
233: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
234: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
235:
236: <p>
237: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
238: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
239:
240: <p>
241: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
242: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
243: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
244:
245: <p>
246: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
247: read INSTALL.i386.
248:
249: <p>
250: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
251: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
252: use the
253: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
254: utility. The following is an example usage of
255: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
256: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
257: "rfd0a".

260: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
261: </pre></ul>
262:
263: <p>
264: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
265: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
266: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
267: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

272: <ul>
273: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
274: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
275: your BIOS options first.
276: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
277: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
278: boot from the floppy drive.
279:
280: <p>
281: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
282: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
283: INSTALL.amd64 document.
284:
285: <p>
286: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
287: read INSTALL.amd64.

489: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
490: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
491: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
492: Using these files
493: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
494: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

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