280: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
281: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
282: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
283: <p>
284:
285: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
286: <ul>
287: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
288: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
289: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
290: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
291:
292: <p>
293: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
294: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
295:
296: <p>
297: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
298: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
299: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
300:
301: <p>
302: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
303: read INSTALL.i386.
304:
305: <p>
306: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
307: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
308: use the
309: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
310: utility. The following is an example usage of
311: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
312: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
313: "rfd0a".

316: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
317: </pre></ul>
318:
319: <p>
320: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
321: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
322: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

329: The 4.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
330: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
331: your BIOS options first.
332: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
333: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
334: boot from the floppy drive.
335:
336: <p>
337: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

472: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
473: To do so you need to write <i>floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy.
474: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
475: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
476: depending on the version of your ROM.
477:
478: <ul><pre>
479: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
480: or
481: > <strong>b fd()</strong>

485: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
486: will most likely fail.
487:
488: <p>
489: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
490: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
491: INSTALL.sparc file.

543: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
544: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
545: To extract:
546: <p>
547: <ul><pre>
548: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

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

584: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
585: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
586: if you know nothing about ports
587: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
588: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
589: OpenBSD ports system.
590: <p>
591: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
592: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
593: cvs(1)</a> if
594: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
595: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
596: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
597: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
598: like:
599: <p>
600: <ul><pre>
601: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_6</strong>
602: </pre></ul>
603: <p>
604: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
605: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
606: server.]
607: <p>
608: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
609: packages for the 4.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
610: <p>
611: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
612: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
613: place to know.
