765: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
766: <p>
767: <li>
768: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

774:
775: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.3 system, and do not want to reinstall,
776: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
777: <a href="faq/upgrade64.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.

782: <h3 id="sourcecode"><font color="#0000e0">Notes about the source code</font></h3>
783:
784: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
785: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
786: which are in a separate archive.
787: To extract:
788:
789: <blockquote><pre>
790: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
791: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
792: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
793: </pre></blockquote>
794:
795: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
796: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
797: To extract:
798:
799: <blockquote><pre>
800: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
801: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
802: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
803: </pre></blockquote>
804:
805: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
806: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
807: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
808: Using these files
809: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
810: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

815: <h3 id="ports"><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
816:
817: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
818:
819: <blockquote><pre>
820: # <b>cd /usr</b>
821: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
822: </pre></blockquote>
823:
824: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
825: if you know nothing about ports
826: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
827: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
828: OpenBSD ports system.
829: <p>
830: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
831: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
832: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
833: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
834: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
835: with a command like:
836:
837: <blockquote><pre>
838: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
839: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
840: </pre></blockquote>
841:
842: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
843: server.]
844: <p>
845: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
846: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
847: <p>
848: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
849: would like to know more, the mailing list
850: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
