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

! 281:
! 282: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 283: <ul>
! 284: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 285: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 286: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 287: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 288:
! 289: <p>
! 290: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 291: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 292:
! 293: <p>
! 294: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 295: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 296: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 297:
! 298: <p>
! 299: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 300: read INSTALL.i386.
! 301:
! 302: <p>
! 303: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 304: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 305: use the
! 306: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 307: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 308: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 309: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
! 310: "rfd0a".
! 311:
! 312: <ul><pre>
! 313: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
! 314: </pre></ul>
! 315:
! 316: <p>
! 317: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
! 318: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
! 319: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
! 320: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

! 325: <ul>
! 326: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
! 327: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
! 328: your BIOS options first.
! 329: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 330: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 331: boot from the floppy drive.
! 332:
! 333: <p>
! 334: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 335: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
! 336: INSTALL.amd64 document.
! 337:

! 604: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 605: OpenBSD ports system.
! 606: <p>
! 607: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 608: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
! 609: cvs(1)</a> if

! 611: source tree, our ports tree is available via
! 612: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
! 613: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 614: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 615: like:
! 616: <p>
! 617: <ul><pre>
! 618: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
! 619: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
! 620: </pre></ul>
! 621: <p>
! 622: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
! 623: server.]
! 624: <p>
! 625: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
! 626: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 627: <p>
! 628: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 629: would like to know more, the mailing list
! 630: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
