349: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it

470: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
471: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
472: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
473: <p>
474:
475: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
476: <ul>
477: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
478: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
479: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
480: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
481:
482: <p>
483: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
484: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
485:
486: <p>
487: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
488: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
489: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
490:
491: <p>
492: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
493: read INSTALL.i386.
494:
495: <p>
496: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
497: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
498: use the
499: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
500: utility. The following is an example usage of
501: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
502: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
503: "rfd0a".

506: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
507: </pre></ul>
508:
509: <p>
510: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
511: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
512: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

519: The 5.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
520: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
521: your BIOS options first.
522: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
523: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
524: boot from the floppy drive.
525:
526: <p>
527: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

766: Using these files
767: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
768: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

786: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
787: <p>
788: <ul><pre>
789: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
790: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
791: </pre></ul>
792: <p>
793: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
794: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
795: if you know nothing about ports
796: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
797: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
798: OpenBSD ports system.
799: <p>
800: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
801: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
802: cvs(1)</a> if
803: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
804: source tree, our ports tree is available via
805: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
806: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
807: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
808: like:
809: <p>
810: <ul><pre>
811: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
812: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_4</strong>
813: </pre></ul>
814: <p>
815: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
816: server.]
817: <p>
818: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
819: packages for the 5.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
820: <p>
821: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
822: would like to know more, the mailing list
823: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
