471: To install, burn cd58.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
472: machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
473: menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
474: CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
475: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.

477: <p>
478: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
479: server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
480: system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.

504: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
505: To do so you need to write <i>floppy58.fs</i> to a floppy.
506: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
507: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
508: depending on the version of your ROM.
509:
510: <ul><pre>
511: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
512: or

517: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
518: will most likely fail.
519:
520: <p>
521: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
522: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
523: INSTALL.sparc file.

600: <p>
601: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
602: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
603: cvs(1)</a> if
604: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
605: source tree, our ports tree is available via
606: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
607: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
608: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
609: with a command like:
610: <p>
611: <ul><pre>
612: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.2 ! deraadt 613: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_8</strong>
1.1 deraadt 614: </pre></ul>
615: <p>
616: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
617: server.]
618: <p>
619: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
620: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
621: <p>
622: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
623: would like to know more, the mailing list
624: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
