456: Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
457: <i>boot cdrom</i>.

460: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
461: <i>floppy64.fs</i> or <i>floppyB64.fs</i>
462: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

464: <p>
465: <li>
466: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
467: will most likely fail.
468: <p>
469: <li>
470: You can also write <i>miniroot64.fs</i> to the swap partition on
471: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.

474: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

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

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

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