! 236: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

! 238: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

! 240:
! 241: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 242: <ul>
! 243: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 244: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 245: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 246: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 247:
! 248: <p>
! 249: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 250: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 251:
! 252: <p>
! 253: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 254: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 255: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 256:
! 257: <p>
! 258: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 259: read INSTALL.i386.
! 260:
! 261: <p>
! 262: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 263: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 264: use the
! 265: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 266: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 267: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 268: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

! 274:

! 276: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
! 277: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
! 278: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
! 279: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

! 285: The 4.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
! 286: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
! 287: your BIOS options first.
! 288: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 289: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 290: boot from the floppy drive.
! 291:
! 292: <p>
! 293: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

! 493: <ul><pre>
! 494: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
! 495: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>

! 499: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.

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

! 540: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
! 541: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
! 542: if you know nothing about ports
! 543: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 544: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 545: OpenBSD ports system.
! 546: <p>
! 547: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 548: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
! 549: cvs(1)</a> if
! 550: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
! 551: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
! 552: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 553: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 554: like:
! 555: <p>
! 556: <ul><pre>
! 557: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_6</strong>
! 558: </pre></ul>
! 559: <p>
! 560: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 561: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 562: server.]
! 563: <p>
! 564: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
! 565: packages for the 4.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 566: <p>
! 567: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 568: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
! 569: place to know.
