<h3 id="install"><font color="#0000e0">How to install</font></h3>
Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
form of install. The instructions for doing an HTTP (or other style
of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
purchased a CDROM instead.

Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the use of
the "<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/disklabel.8">disklabel</a> -E" command.
If you are at all confused when installing OpenBSD, read the relevant
INSTALL.* file as listed above!
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
<ul style="list-style-type: none">
<li>
The OpenBSD/i386 release is on CD1.
Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
your BIOS options first.
<p>
<li>
If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install61.fs</i> or
<i>miniroot61.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
<p>
<li>
If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
you can install across the network using PXE as described in
the included INSTALL.i386 document.
<p>
<li>
If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
read INSTALL.i386.
</ul>

<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>
<ul style="list-style-type: none">
<li>
Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, and power on your machine
while holding down the <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and
shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
<p>
<li>
Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

Put CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
<p>
<li>
If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
<i>CD3:6.1/sparc64/floppy61.fs</i> or <i>CD3:6.1/sparc64/floppyB61.fs</i>
(depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
<p>
<li>
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
will most likely fail.
<p>
<li>
You can also write <i>CD3:6.1/sparc64/miniroot61.fs</i> to the swap partition on
the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
<p>

To install, burn cd61.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
<p>
<li>
If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.

<h3 id="upgrade"><font color="#0000e0">How to upgrade</font></h3>
If you already have an OpenBSD 6.0 system, and do not want to reinstall,
upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
<a href="faq/upgrade61.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.
<p>
<hr>
<h3 id="sourcecode"><font color="#0000e0">Notes about the source code</font></h3>
<tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
which are in a separate archive.
To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
# <b>cd /usr/src</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
<tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
# <b>cd /usr/src</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
Using these files
results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
<p>
<hr>
<h3 id="ports"><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>cd /usr</b>
# <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
</pre></blockquote>
Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
if you know nothing about ports
at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
OpenBSD ports system.
<p>
The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
<a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
with a command like:
<blockquote><pre>
# <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
# <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
</pre></blockquote>
[Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
server.]
<p>
Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
<p>
If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
would like to know more, the mailing list
<a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
