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

875: <h3>How to upgrade</h3>
876: <p>
877: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.7 system, and do not want to reinstall,
878: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

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

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