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

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

346: <ul>
347: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
348: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
349: your BIOS options first.
350: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
351: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
352: boot from the floppy drive.
353:
354: <p>
355: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
356: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
357: INSTALL.amd64 document.

592: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
593: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
594: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

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