523: <ul>
524: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
525: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
526: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
527: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
528:
529: <p>
530: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
531: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
532:
533: <p>
534: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
535: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
536: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
537:
538: <p>
539: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
540: read INSTALL.i386.
541:
542: <p>
543: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
544: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
545: use the
546: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
547: utility. The following is an example usage of
548: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
549: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

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

764: Using the Linux built-in graphical ipkg installer, install the

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

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

817: <ul><pre>
818: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

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

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