198:
1.58 deraadt 199: <li>Over 7,000 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
1.11 espie 200: the package build process
1.8 espie 201: <ul>
1.16 deraadt 202: <li>Downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,
1.8 espie 203: discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use
204: the new and improved method.
1.16 deraadt 205: <li>Dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least
1.8 espie 206: twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects
207: user scripts such as out-of-date
1.16 deraadt 208: <li>More checks are done during package builds, for increased user friendliness
209: <li>The long term process of documenting the infrastructure is now 100% done.
1.8 espie 210: <li>The distributed ports builder (dpb) can now clean up old dependencies,
211: thus helping package builds be more reproducible.
212: This found tens of hidden build dependencies in the ports tree already.

1.8 espie 214: have been fixed.
1.16 deraadt 215: <li>The arch-dependent issues are better classified, leading to better builds on
1.8 espie 216: old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly
1.58 deraadt 217: purges from memory info about packages it cannot build and stuff that
1.8 espie 218: depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
219: small data-size limits.
220: <li>dpb recognizes full builds and trims some duplicate package builds
221: </ul>
222: <p>

1.1 deraadt 352: <p>
353: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
354: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
355: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.57 bentley 356:
357: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
358:
1.1 deraadt 359: <p>
360: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
361: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
362: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
363: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
364:
365: <p>
366: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
367: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
368:
369: <p>
370: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
371: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
372: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
373:
374: <p>
375: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
376: read INSTALL.i386.
377:
378: <p>
379: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
380: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
381: use the
1.57 bentley 382: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 383: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.57 bentley 384: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 385: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
386: "rfd0a".

1.57 bentley 390: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 391:
392: <p>
393: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
394: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
395: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
1.52 tj 396: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.

398: <h3>OpenBSD/amd64:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 399:
400: <p>
401: The 5.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
402: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
403: your BIOS options first.
404: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
405: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
406: boot from the floppy drive.
407:
408: <p>
409: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
410: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
411: INSTALL.amd64 document.
412:
413: <p>
414: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
415: read INSTALL.amd64.

427: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
1.1 deraadt 428:
429: <p>
430: Put CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
431:
432: <p>
433: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
434: <i>CD3:5.1/sparc64/floppy51.fs</i> or <i>CD3:5.1/sparc64/floppyB51.fs</i>
435: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
436: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
437:
438: <p>
439: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
440: will most likely fail.
441:
442: <p>
443: You can also write <i>CD3:5.1/sparc64/miniroot51.fs</i> to the swap partition on
444: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
445:
446: <p>
447: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

465: then load bsd.rd, see INSTALL.armish for specific details.
466: IOData HDL-G can only boot from an EXT-2 partition. Boot into linux
467: and copy 'boot' and bsd.rd into the first partition on wd0 (hda1)
468: then load and run bsd.rd, preserving the wd0i (hda1) ext2fs partition.
