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

342: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

344:
345: <p>
346: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
347: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
348: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

355: The 4.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
356: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
357: your BIOS options first.
358: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
359: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
360: boot from the floppy drive.
361:

621: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
622: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
623: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
624: like:
625: <p>
626: <ul><pre>
627: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_6</strong>

630: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
631: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
632: server.]
633: <p>
634: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
635: packages for the 4.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
636: <p>
637: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
638: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
639: place to know.
