298: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
299: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
300: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
301: <p>
302:
303: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
304: <ul>
305: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
306: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
307: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
308: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
309:
310: <p>
311: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
312: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
313:
314: <p>
315: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
316: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
317: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
318:
319: <p>
320: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
321: read INSTALL.i386.
322:
323: <p>
324: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
325: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
326: use the
327: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
328: utility. The following is an example usage of
329: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
330: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
331: "rfd0a".

334: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
335: </pre></ul>
336:
337: <p>
338: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
339: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
340: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

347: The 4.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
348: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
349: your BIOS options first.
350: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
351: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
352: boot from the floppy drive.
353:
354: <p>
355: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

605: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
606: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
607: OpenBSD ports system.
608: <p>
609: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

612: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
613: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
614: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
615: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
616: like:
617: <p>
618: <ul><pre>
619: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_6</strong>
620: </pre></ul>
621: <p>
622: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
623: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
624: server.]
625: <p>
626: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
627: packages for the 4.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
628: <p>
629: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
630: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
631: place to know.
