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

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

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

533: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

537: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install

539:
540: <p>
541: You can also write <i>CD3:4.5/sparc64/miniroot45.fs</i> to the swap partition on
542: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.

1.1 deraadt 725: <p>
726: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.44 jasper 727: read the <a href="faq/faq15.html">ports</a> page
1.1 deraadt 728: if you know nothing about ports
729: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
730: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
731: OpenBSD ports system.
732: <p>
733: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.65 bentley 734: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs.1">cvs(1)</a> if
1.1 deraadt 735: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
736: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
737: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
738: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
739: like:
1.62 bentley 740: <blockquote><pre>
1.64 deraadt 741: # <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_5</kbd>
1.62 bentley 742: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 743: <p>
744: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
745: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
746: server.]
747: <p>
1.64 deraadt 748: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.1 deraadt 749: packages for the 4.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
750: <p>
751: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1.64 deraadt 752: would like to know more, the mailing list
753: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
