296: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
297: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
298: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
299: <p>
300:
301: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
302: <ul>
303: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
304: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
305: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
306: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
307:
308: <p>
309: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
310: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
311:
312: <p>
313: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
314: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
315: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
316:
317: <p>
318: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
319: read INSTALL.i386.
320:
321: <p>
322: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
323: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
324: use the
325: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
326: utility. The following is an example usage of
327: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
328: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
329: "rfd0a".

332: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
333: </pre></ul>
334:
335: <p>
336: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
337: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
338: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
339: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

344: <ul>
345: The 5.2 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
346: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
347: your BIOS options first.
348: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
349: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
350: boot from the floppy drive.
351:
352: <p>
353: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
354: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
355: INSTALL.amd64 document.
356:
357: <p>

382: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

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

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

631: <p>
632: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
633: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
634: server.]
635: <p>
636: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
637: packages for the 5.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
638: <p>
639: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
640: would like to know more, the mailing list
641: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
