281: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
282: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
283: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
284: <p>
285:
286: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
287: <ul>
288: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
289: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
290: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
291: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
292:
293: <p>
294: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
295: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
296:
297: <p>
298: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
299: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
300: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
301:
302: <p>
303: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
304: read INSTALL.i386.
305:
306: <p>
307: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
308: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
309: use the
310: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
311: utility. The following is an example usage of
312: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
313: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
314: "rfd0a".

317: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

319:
320: <p>
321: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
322: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
323: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

330: The 5.2 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
331: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
332: your BIOS options first.
333: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
334: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
335: boot from the floppy drive.
336:
337: <p>
338: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
339: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

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

607: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
608: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
609: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
610: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
611: like:
612: <p>
613: <ul><pre>
614: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_2</strong>

616: <p>
617: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
618: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
619: server.]
620: <p>
621: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
622: packages for the 5.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
623: <p>
624: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
625: would like to know more, the mailing list
626: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
