476: To install, write <i>install72.img</i> or <i>miniroot72.img</i> to a
477: USB stick, and boot with that drive plugged in.
478: Make sure you also have the microSD card plugged in that shipped with the
479: HiFive Unmatched board.
480: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.riscv64 for more details.
481:
482: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>

485: Burn the image from a mirror site to a CDROM, boot from it, and type
486: <i>boot cdrom</i>.
487:
488: <p>
489: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
490: <i>floppy72.img</i> or <i>floppyB72.img</i>
491: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
492: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
493:
494: <p>
495: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
496: will most likely fail.
497:
498: <p>
499: You can also write <i>miniroot72.img</i> to the swap partition on
500: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.

510: <p>
511: If you already have an OpenBSD 7.0 system, and do not want to reinstall,
512: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

519: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
520: <p>
521: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
522: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
523: which are in a separate archive.
524: To extract:
525: <blockquote><pre>
526: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
527: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
528: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
529: </pre></blockquote>
530: <p>
531: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
532: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
533: To extract:
534: <blockquote><pre>
535: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
536: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
537: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
538: </pre></blockquote>
539: <p>
540: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
541: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
542: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
543: Using these files
544: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
545: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

551: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
552: <p>
553: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
554: <blockquote><pre>
555: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
556: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
557: </pre></blockquote>
558: <p>
559: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
560: if you know nothing about ports
561: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
562: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
563: OpenBSD ports system.
564: <p>
565: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
566: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
567: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
568: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
569: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
570: with a command like:
571: <blockquote><pre>
572: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
573: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_2</kbd>
574: </pre></blockquote>
575: <p>
576: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
577: server.]
578: <p>
579: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
580: ports for the 7.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
581: <p>
582: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
583: would like to know more, the mailing list
584: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
