291: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
292: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
293: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
294: <p>
295:
296: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
297: <ul>
298: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
299: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
300: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
301: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
302:
303: <p>
304: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
305: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
306:
307: <p>
308: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
309: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
310: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
311:
312: <p>
313: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
314: read INSTALL.i386.
315:
316: <p>
317: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
318: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
319: use the
320: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
321: utility. The following is an example usage of
322: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
323: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
324: "rfd0a".

327: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

329:
330: <p>
331: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
332: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
333: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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

498: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
499: To do so you need to write <i>floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy.
500: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
501: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
502: depending on the version of your ROM.

504: <ul><pre>
505: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
506: or

511: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
512: will most likely fail.
513:
514: <p>
515: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either

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

588: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

590: if you know nothing about ports
591: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
592: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
593: OpenBSD ports system.
594: <p>
595: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
596: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
597: cvs(1)</a> if
598: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
599: source tree, our ports tree is available via
600: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
601: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
602: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
603: like:
604: <p>
605: <ul><pre>
606: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.6 deraadt 607: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_6</strong>
1.1 deraadt 608: </pre></ul>
609: <p>
610: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
611: server.]
612: <p>
613: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
614: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
615: <p>
616: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
617: would like to know more, the mailing list
618: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
