256: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
257: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
258: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
259: <p>
260:
261: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
262: <ul>
263: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
264: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
265: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
266: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
267:
268: <p>
269: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
270: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
271:
272: <p>
273: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
274: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
275: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
276:
277: <p>
278: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
279: read INSTALL.i386.
280:
281: <p>
282: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
283: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
284: use the
285: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
286: utility. The following is an example usage of
287: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
288: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
289: "rfd0a".

292: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
293: </pre></ul>
294:
295: <p>
296: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
297: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
298: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
299: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

304: <ul>
305: The 5.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
306: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
307: your BIOS options first.
308: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
309: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
310: boot from the floppy drive.
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 the included
315: INSTALL.amd64 document.

481: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
482: To do so you need to write <i>floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy.
483: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
484: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

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

582: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
583: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
584: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
585: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
586: like:
587: <p>
588: <ul><pre>
589: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_3</strong>
590: </pre></ul>
591: <p>
592: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
593: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
594: server.]
595: <p>
596: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
597: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
598: <p>
599: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
600: would like to know more, the mailing list
601: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
