208: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
209: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

244: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
245: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
246: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
247: <p>
248:
249: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
250: <ul>
251: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
252: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
253: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
254: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
255:
256: <p>
257: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
258: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
259:
260: <p>
261: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
262: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
263: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
264:
265: <p>
266: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
267: read INSTALL.i386.
268:
269: <p>
270: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
271: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
272: use the
273: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
274: utility. The following is an example usage of
275: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
276: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
277: "rfd0a".
278:
279: <ul><pre>
280: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
281: </pre></ul>
282:
283: <p>
284: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
285: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
286: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
287: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

292: <ul>
293: The 5.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
294: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
295: your BIOS options first.
296: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
297: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
298: boot from the floppy drive.
299:
300: <p>
301: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
302: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
303: INSTALL.amd64 document.

470: To do so you need to write <i>floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy.
471: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
472: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
473: depending on the version of your ROM.
474:
475: <ul><pre>
476: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
477: or
478: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
479: </pre></ul>
480:
481: <p>
482: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
483: will most likely fail.
484:
485: <p>
486: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
487: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
488: INSTALL.sparc file.
489: </ul>
490:
491: <p>
492: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/vax:</font></h3>

499: <ul>
500: <p>
501: Using the Linux built-in graphical ipkg installer, install the

509: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
510: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
511: in a separate archive. To extract:
512: <p>
513: <ul><pre>
514: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
515: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
516: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
517: </pre></ul>
518: <p>
519: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
520: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
521: To extract:
522: <p>
523: <ul><pre>
524: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
525: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
526: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
527: </pre></ul>
528: <p>
529: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
530: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
531: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
532: Using these files
533: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
534: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

552: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

554: <ul><pre>
555: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

560: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
561: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
562: if you know nothing about ports
563: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
564: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
565: OpenBSD ports system.
566: <p>
567: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
568: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
569: cvs(1)</a> if
570: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
571: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
572: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
573: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
574: like:
575: <p>
576: <ul><pre>
577: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_3</strong>
578: </pre></ul>
579: <p>
580: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
581: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
582: server.]
583: <p>
584: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
585: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
586: <p>
587: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
588: would like to know more, the mailing list
589: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
