273: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
274: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
275: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
276: <p>
277:
278: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
279: <ul>
280: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
281: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
282: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
283: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
284:
285: <p>
286: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
287: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
288:
289: <p>
290: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
291: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
292: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
293:
294: <p>
295: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
296: read INSTALL.i386.
297:
298: <p>
299: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
300: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
301: use the
302: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
303: utility. The following is an example usage of
304: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
305: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
306: "rfd0a".

309: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
310: </pre></ul>
311:
312: <p>
313: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
314: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
315: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

321: <ul>
322: The 4.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
323: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
324: your BIOS options first.
325: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
326: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.9/amd64/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy, then
327: boot from the floppy drive.
328:
329: <p>
330: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
331: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
332: INSTALL.amd64 document.

488: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
489: To do so you need to write <i>floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy.
490: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
491: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
492: depending on the version of your ROM.

494: <ul><pre>
495: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>

501: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
502: will most likely fail.
503:

505: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
506: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
507: INSTALL.sparc file.

548: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
549: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
550: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
551: Using these files

583: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
584: OpenBSD ports system.
585: <p>
586: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

589: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
590: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
591: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
592: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
593: like:
594: <p>
595: <ul><pre>
596: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_9</strong>
597: </pre></ul>
598: <p>
599: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
600: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
601: server.]
602: <p>
603: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
604: packages for the 4.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
605: <p>
606: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
607: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
608: place to know.
