361:
362: <p>
363: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
364: read INSTALL.i386.

379: <h3>OpenBSD/luna88k:</h3>
380:
381: <p>

383: from the PROM, and then bsd.rd from the bootloader.
384: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.luna88k for more details.
385:
386: <h3>OpenBSD/macppc:</h3>
387:
388: <p>

390: while holding down the <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and
391: shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
392:
393: <p>
394: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

401: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.octeon for more details.
402:
403: <h3>OpenBSD/powerpc64:</h3>
404:
405: <p>
406: To install, write <i>install69.img</i> or <i>miniroot69.img</i> to a
407: USB stick, plug it into the machine and choose the <i>OpenBSD
408: install</i> menu item in Petitboot.
409: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.powerpc64 for more details.
410:
411: <h3>OpenBSD/sgi:</h3>
412:
413: <p>
414: To install, burn cd69.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
415: machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
416: menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
417: CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
418: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
419:
420: <p>
421: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
422: server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
423: system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
424:
425: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
426:
427: <p>
428: Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
429: <i>boot cdrom</i>.
430:
431: <p>
432: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
433: <i>floppy69.img</i> or <i>floppyB69.img</i>
434: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
435: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
436:
437: <p>
438: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
439: will most likely fail.
440:
441: <p>
442: You can also write <i>miniroot69.img</i> to the swap partition on
443: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
444:
445: <p>
446: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

462: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
463: <p>
464: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
465: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
466: which are in a separate archive.
467: To extract:
468: <blockquote><pre>
469: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
470: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
471: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
472: </pre></blockquote>
473: <p>
474: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
475: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
476: To extract:
477: <blockquote><pre>
478: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
479: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
480: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
481: </pre></blockquote>
482: <p>
483: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
484: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
485: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
486: Using these files
487: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
488: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

494: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
495: <p>
496: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
497: <blockquote><pre>
498: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
499: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
500: </pre></blockquote>
501: <p>
502: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
503: if you know nothing about ports
504: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
505: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
506: OpenBSD ports system.
507: <p>
508: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
509: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
510: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
511: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
512: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
513: with a command like:
514: <blockquote><pre>
515: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
516: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_9</kbd>
517: </pre></blockquote>
518: <p>
519: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
520: server.]
521: <p>
522: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
523: ports for the 6.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
524: <p>
