449: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
450: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
451: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

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

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

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

763: <h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
764: <p>
765: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
766: <p>
767: <ul><pre>
768: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
769: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
770: </pre></ul>
771: <p>
772: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
773: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
774: if you know nothing about ports
775: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
776: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
777: OpenBSD ports system.
778: <p>
779: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
780: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
781: cvs(1)</a> if
782: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
783: source tree, our ports tree is available via
784: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
785: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
786: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
787: like:
788: <p>
789: <ul><pre>
790: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
791: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_4</strong>
792: </pre></ul>
793: <p>
794: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
795: server.]
796: <p>
797: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
798: packages for the 5.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
799: <p>
800: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
801: would like to know more, the mailing list
802: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
