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

322: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
323: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

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

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

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

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