302: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
303: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
304: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
305: <p>
306:
307: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
308: <ul>
309: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
310: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
311: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
312: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
313:
314: <p>
315: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
316: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
317:
318: <p>
319: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
320: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
321: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
322:
323: <p>
324: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
325: read INSTALL.i386.
326:
327: <p>
328: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
329: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
330: use the
331: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
332: utility. The following is an example usage of
333: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
334: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

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

614: <p>
615: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

618: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
619: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
620: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
621: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
622: like:
623: <p>
624: <ul><pre>
625: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_8</strong>

627: <p>
628: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
629: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
630: server.]
631: <p>
632: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
633: packages for the 4.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
634: <p>
635: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
636: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
637: place to know.
