807: <h3>OpenBSD/luna88k:</h3>
808:
809: <p>
810: Copy 'boot' and 'bsd.rd' to a Mach or UniOS partition, and boot the bootloader
811: from the PROM, and then bsd.rd from the bootloader.
812: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.luna88k for more details.
813:
814: <h3>OpenBSD/macppc:</h3>
815:
816: <p>
817: Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, and power on your machine
818: while holding down the <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and
819: shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
820:
821: <p>
822: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot
823: /6.9/macppc/bsd.rd</i>
824:
825: <h3>OpenBSD/octeon:</h3>
826:
827: <p>
828: After connecting a serial port, boot bsd.rd over the network via DHCP/tftp.
829: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.octeon for more details.
830:
831: <h3>OpenBSD/powerpc64:</h3>
832:
833: <p>
834: To install, write <i>install69.img</i> or <i>miniroot69.img</i> to a
835: USB stick, plug it into the machine and choose the <i>OpenBSD
836: install</i> menu item in Petitboot.
837: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.powerpc64 for more details.
838:
839: <h3>OpenBSD/sgi:</h3>
840:
841: <p>
842: To install, burn cd69.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
843: machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
844: menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from
845: CD-ROM, and need a proper invocation from the PROM prompt.
846: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
847:
848: <p>
849: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network
850: server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using the kernel matching your
851: system type. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
852:
853: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
854:
855: <p>
856: Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
857: <i>boot cdrom</i>.
858:
859: <p>
860: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
861: <i>floppy69.img</i> or <i>floppyB69.img</i>
862: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
863: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
864:
865: <p>
866: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
867: will most likely fail.
868:
869: <p>
870: You can also write <i>miniroot69.img</i> to the swap partition on
871: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
872:
873: <p>
874: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.

880: <h3>How to upgrade</h3>
881: <p>
882: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.7 system, and do not want to reinstall,
883: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

889: <section id=sourcecode>
890: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
891: <p>
892: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
893: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
894: which are in a separate archive.
895: To extract:
896: <blockquote><pre>
897: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
898: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
899: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
900: </pre></blockquote>
901: <p>
902: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
903: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
904: To extract:
905: <blockquote><pre>
906: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
907: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
908: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
909: </pre></blockquote>
910: <p>
911: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
912: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
913: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
914: Using these files
915: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
916: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

922: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
923: <p>
924: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
925: <blockquote><pre>
926: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
927: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
928: </pre></blockquote>
929: <p>
930: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
931: if you know nothing about ports
932: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
933: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
934: OpenBSD ports system.
935: <p>
936: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
937: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
938: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
939: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
940: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
941: with a command like:
942: <blockquote><pre>
943: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
944: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_9</kbd>
945: </pre></blockquote>
946: <p>
947: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
948: server.]
949: <p>
950: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
951: ports for the 6.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
952: <p>
953: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
954: would like to know more, the mailing list
955: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
