634: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
635:
636: <p>
637: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
638: read INSTALL.i386.
639:

641:
642: <p>
643: Write <i>miniroot69.img</i> to the start of the CF
644: or disk, and boot normally.

659:
660: <h3>OpenBSD/macppc:</h3>
661:
662: <p>

664: while holding down the <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and
665: shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
666:
667: <p>
668: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

677: <h3>OpenBSD/powerpc64:</h3>
678:
679: <p>
680: To install, write <i>install69.img</i> or <i>miniroot69.img</i> to a
681: USB stick, plug it into the machine and choose the <i>OpenBSD
682: install</i> menu item in Petitboot.
683: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.powerpc64 for more details.
684:
685: <h3>OpenBSD/sgi:</h3>
686:

688: To install, burn cd69.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
689: machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
690: menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
691: CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
692: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
693:
694: <p>
695: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
696: server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
697: system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
698:
699: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
700:
701: <p>
702: Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
703: <i>boot cdrom</i>.
704:
705: <p>
706: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
707: <i>floppy69.img</i> or <i>floppyB69.img</i>
708: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
709: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
710:
711: <p>
712: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
713: will most likely fail.
714:
715: <p>
716: You can also write <i>miniroot69.img</i> to the swap partition on
717: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
718:
719: <p>
720: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

736: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
737: <p>
738: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
739: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
740: which are in a separate archive.
741: To extract:
742: <blockquote><pre>
743: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
744: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
745: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
746: </pre></blockquote>
747: <p>
748: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
749: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
750: To extract:
751: <blockquote><pre>
752: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
753: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
754: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
755: </pre></blockquote>
756: <p>
757: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
758: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
759: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
760: Using these files
761: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
762: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

768: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
769: <p>
770: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
771: <blockquote><pre>
772: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
773: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
774: </pre></blockquote>
775: <p>
776: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
777: if you know nothing about ports
778: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
779: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
780: OpenBSD ports system.
781: <p>
782: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
783: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
784: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
785: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
786: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
787: with a command like:
788: <blockquote><pre>
789: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
790: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_9</kbd>
791: </pre></blockquote>
792: <p>
793: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
794: server.]
795: <p>
796: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
797: ports for the 6.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
798: <p>
799: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
800: would like to know more, the mailing list
801: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
