450: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
451: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
452: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
453: <p>
454:
455: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
456: <ul>
457: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
458: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
459: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
460: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
461:
462: <p>
463: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
464: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
465:
466: <p>
467: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
468: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
469: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
470:
471: <p>
472: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
473: read INSTALL.i386.
474:
475: <p>
476: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
477: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
478: use the
479: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
480: utility. The following is an example usage of
481: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
482: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
483: "rfd0a".

486: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
487: </pre></ul>
488:
489: <p>
490: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
491: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

500: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
501: your BIOS options first.
502: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
503: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
504: boot from the floppy drive.
505:

773: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
774: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
775: if you know nothing about ports
776: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
777: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
778: OpenBSD ports system.
779: <p>
780: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
781: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
782: cvs(1)</a> if
783: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
784: source tree, our ports tree is available via
785: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
786: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
787: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
788: like:
789: <p>
790: <ul><pre>
791: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
792: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_4</strong>
793: </pre></ul>
794: <p>
795: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
796: server.]
797: <p>
798: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
799: packages for the 5.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
800: <p>
801: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
802: would like to know more, the mailing list
803: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
