459: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
460: <i>floppy64.fs</i> or <i>floppyB64.fs</i>
461: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
462: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
463: <p>
464: <li>
465: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
466: will most likely fail.
467: <p>
468: <li>
469: You can also write <i>miniroot64.fs</i> to the swap partition on
470: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
471: <p>
472: <li>
473: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

479:
480: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.3 system, and do not want to reinstall,
481: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
482: <a href="faq/upgrade64.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.

487: <h3 id="sourcecode"><font color="#0000e0">Notes about the source code</font></h3>
488:
489: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
490: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
491: which are in a separate archive.
492: To extract:
493:
494: <blockquote><pre>
495: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
496: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
497: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
498: </pre></blockquote>
499:
500: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
501: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
502: To extract:
503:
504: <blockquote><pre>
505: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
506: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
507: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
508: </pre></blockquote>
509:
510: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
511: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
512: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
513: Using these files
514: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
515: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

520: <h3 id="ports"><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
521:
522: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
523:
524: <blockquote><pre>
525: # <b>cd /usr</b>
526: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
527: </pre></blockquote>
528:
529: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
530: if you know nothing about ports
531: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
532: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
533: OpenBSD ports system.
534: <p>
535: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
536: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
537: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
538: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
539: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
540: with a command like:
541:
542: <blockquote><pre>
543: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
544: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
545: </pre></blockquote>
546:
547: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
548: server.]
549: <p>
550: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
551: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
552: <p>
553: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
554: would like to know more, the mailing list
555: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
