320: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
321: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
322: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
323: <p>
324:
325: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
326: <ul>
327: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
328: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
329: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
330: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
331:
332: <p>
333: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
334: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
335:
336: <p>
337: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
338: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
339: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
340:
341: <p>
342: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
343: read INSTALL.i386.
344:
345: <p>
346: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
347: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
348: use the
349: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
350: utility. The following is an example usage of

369: The 5.2 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
370: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
371: your BIOS options first.
372: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
373: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
374: boot from the floppy drive.

647: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
648: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
649: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
650: like:
651: <p>

653: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_2</strong>

656: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
657: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
658: server.]
659: <p>
660: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
