452: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
453: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
454: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

456: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
457:
1.1 deraadt 458: <p>
459: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
460: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
461: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
462: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
463:
464: <p>
465: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
466: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
467:
468: <p>
469: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
470: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
471: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
472:
473: <p>
474: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
475: read INSTALL.i386.
476:
477: <p>
478: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
479: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
480: use the
1.62 bentley 481: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 482: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.62 bentley 483: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 484: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

499: <p>
500: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
501: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
502: your BIOS options first.
503: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
504: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
505: boot from the floppy drive.
506:
507: <p>
508: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
509: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
510: INSTALL.amd64 document.
511:
512: <p>
513: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

533: <i>CD3:4.5/sparc64/floppy45.fs</i> or <i>CD3:4.5/sparc64/floppyB45.fs</i>
534: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

538: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
539: will most likely fail.
540:
541: <p>
542: You can also write <i>CD3:4.5/sparc64/miniroot45.fs</i> to the swap partition on
543: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.

1.1 deraadt 726: <p>
727: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.44 jasper 728: read the <a href="faq/faq15.html">ports</a> page
1.1 deraadt 729: if you know nothing about ports
730: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
731: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
732: OpenBSD ports system.
733: <p>
734: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.65 bentley 735: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs.1">cvs(1)</a> if
1.1 deraadt 736: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
737: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
738: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
739: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
740: like:
1.62 bentley 741: <blockquote><pre>
1.64 deraadt 742: # <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_5</kbd>
1.62 bentley 743: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 744: <p>
745: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
746: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
747: server.]
748: <p>
1.64 deraadt 749: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.1 deraadt 750: packages for the 4.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
751: <p>
752: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1.64 deraadt 753: would like to know more, the mailing list
754: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
