309: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
310: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
311: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
312: <p>
313:
314: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
315: <ul>
316: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
317: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
318: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
319: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
320:
321: <p>
322: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
323: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
324:
325: <p>
326: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
327: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
328: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
329:
330: <p>
331: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
332: read INSTALL.i386.
333:
334: <p>
335: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
336: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
337: use the
338: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
339: utility. The following is an example usage of
340: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
341: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
342: "rfd0a".

345: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
346: </pre></ul>
347:
348: <p>
349: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
350: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
351: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

360: your BIOS options first.
361: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
362: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.8/amd64/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy, then
363: boot from the floppy drive.

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

625: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
626: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
627: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
628: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
629: like:
630: <p>
631: <ul><pre>
632: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_8</strong>
633: </pre></ul>
634: <p>
635: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
636: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
637: server.]
638: <p>
639: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
640: packages for the 4.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
641: <p>
642: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
643: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
644: place to know.
