225: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
226: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

228: purchased a CDROM instead.

293: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
294: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
295: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
296: <p>
297:
298: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
299: <ul>
300: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
301: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
302: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
303: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
304:
305: <p>
306: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
307: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
308:
309: <p>
310: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
311: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
312: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
313:
314: <p>
315: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
316: read INSTALL.i386.
317:
318: <p>
319: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
320: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
321: use the
322: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
323: utility. The following is an example usage of
324: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
325: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
326: "rfd0a".
327:
328: <ul><pre>
329: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
330: </pre></ul>
331:
332: <p>
333: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
334: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
335: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
336: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

341: <ul>
342: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
343: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
344: your BIOS options first.
345: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
346: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
347: boot from the floppy drive.
348:
349: <p>
350: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
351: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

529: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
530: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

577: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
578: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
579: To extract:
580: <p>
581: <ul><pre>
582: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

587: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
588: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
589: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
590: Using these files
591: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
592: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

616: <p>
617: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
618: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
619: if you know nothing about ports
620: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
621: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
622: OpenBSD ports system.
623: <p>
624: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
625: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
626: cvs(1)</a> if
627: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
628: source tree, our ports tree is available via
629: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
630: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
631: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
632: like:
633: <p>
634: <ul><pre>
635: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
636: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
637: </pre></ul>
638: <p>
639: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
640: server.]
641: <p>
642: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
643: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
644: <p>
645: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
646: would like to know more, the mailing list
647: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
