Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above! !
Write floppy66.fs or floppyB66.fs (depending on your machine) to a diskette and enter boot dva0. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details. +
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. !
If your machine can boot from CD, you can write install66.iso or cd66.iso to a CD and boot from it. You may need to adjust your BIOS options first. +
If your machine can boot from USB, you can write install66.fs or miniroot66.fs to a USB stick and boot from it. +
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.amd64 document. +
If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read INSTALL.amd64. !
Write miniroot66.fs to a disk and boot from it after connecting to the serial console. Refer to INSTALL.arm64 for more details. !
Write a system specific miniroot to an SD card and boot from it after connecting to the serial console. Refer to INSTALL.armv7 for more details. !
Boot over the network by following the instructions in INSTALL.hppa or the hppa platform page. !
If your machine can boot from CD, you can write install66.iso or cd66.iso to a CD and boot from it. You may need to adjust your BIOS options first. +
If your machine can boot from USB, you can write install66.fs or miniroot66.fs to a USB stick and boot from it. +
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. +
If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read INSTALL.i386. !
Write miniroot66.fs to the start of the CF or disk, and boot normally. !
Write miniroot66.fs to a USB stick and boot bsd.rd from it or boot bsd.rd via tftp. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.loongson for more details. !
! Copy 'boot' and 'bsd.rd' to a Mach or UniOS partition, and boot the bootloader from the PROM, and then bsd.rd from the bootloader. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.luna88k for more details. !
Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, and power on your machine while holding down the C key until the display turns on and shows OpenBSD/macppc boot. +
Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter boot cd:,ofwboot /6.6/macppc/bsd.rd !
After connecting a serial port, boot bsd.rd over the network via DHCP/tftp. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.octeon for more details. !
To install, burn cd66.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your machine and select Install System Software from the System Maintenance menu.

! sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys. This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels. To extract:! # mkdir -p /usr/src ! # cd /usr/src ! # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
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 here. 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. !! # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys ! # cd /usr/src ! # tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz
Go read the ports 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.! # cd /usr ! # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
The ports/ directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports. As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via --- 367,470 ---- Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
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. !
Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type boot cdrom. +
If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write floppy66.fs or floppyB66.fs (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with boot floppy. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details. +
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. +
You can also write miniroot66.fs to the swap partition on the disk and boot with boot disk:b. +
If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64. +
If you already have an OpenBSD 6.5 system, and do not want to reinstall, upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the Upgrade Guide. !
! src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src.
This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
which are in a separate archive.
To extract:
!! # mkdir -p /usr/src ! # cd /usr/src ! # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
! sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.

A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

The ports/ directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports. As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via *************** *** 513,531 **** with a command like:
[Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs server.]! # cd /usr/ports ! # cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_5
Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated ports for the 6.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good place to know. !
