529: <ul>
530: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
531: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
532: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
533: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
534:
535: <p>
536: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
537: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
538:
539: <p>
540: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
541: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
542: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
543:
544: <p>
545: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
546: read INSTALL.i386.
547:
548: <p>
549: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
550: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
551: use the
552: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
553: utility. The following is an example usage of
554: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
555: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

728: Boot from one of the provided install ISO images, using one of the two
729: commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
730:
731: <ul><pre>
732: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.8/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

736:
737: <p>
738: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
739: To do so you need to write <i>floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy.
740: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
741: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
742: depending on the version of your ROM.
743:
744: <ul><pre>
745: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
746: or
747: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
748: </pre></ul>
749:
750: <p>
751: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
752: will most likely fail.
753:
754: <p>
755: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
756: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
757: INSTALL.sparc file.

778: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
779: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
780: in a separate archive. To extract:
781: <p>
782: <ul><pre>
783: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
784: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
785: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
786: </pre></ul>
787: <p>
788: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
789: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
790: To extract:
791: <p>
792: <ul><pre>
793: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
794: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
795: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
796: </pre></ul>
797: <p>
798: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
799: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
800: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
801: Using these files
802: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
803: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

821: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

823: <ul><pre>
824: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

826: # <strong>cd ports</strong>

828: <p>
829: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
830: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
831: if you know nothing about ports
832: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
833: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
834: OpenBSD ports system.
835: <p>
836: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
837: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
838: cvs(1)</a> if
839: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
840: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
841: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
842: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
843: like:
844: <p>
845: <ul><pre>
846: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_8</strong>
847: </pre></ul>
848: <p>
849: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
850: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
851: server.]
852: <p>
853: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
854: packages for the 4.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
855: <p>
856: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
857: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
858: place to know.
