781: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
782: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
783: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
784: <p>
785:
786: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
787: <ul>
788: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
789: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
790: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
791: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
792:
793: <p>
794: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
795: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
796:
797: <p>
798: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
799: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
800: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
801:
802: <p>
803: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
804: read INSTALL.i386.
805:
806: <p>
807: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
808: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
809: use the
810: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
811: utility. The following is an example usage of
812: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
813: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
814: "rfd0a".

821: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
822: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
823: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

830: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
831: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
832: your BIOS options first.
833: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
834: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
835: boot from the floppy drive.
836:
837: <p>

1109: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1110: OpenBSD ports system.
1111: <p>
1112: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1113: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">

1116: source tree, our ports tree is available via
1117: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1118: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1119: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
1120: like:
1121: <p>
1122: <ul><pre>
1123: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1124: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
1125: </pre></ul>
1126: <p>
1127: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1128: server.]
1129: <p>
1130: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
1131: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1132: <p>
1133: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1134: would like to know more, the mailing list
1135: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
