This is one of the CDROM's in the OpenBSD 2.9 package. For more OpenBSD information check www.OpenBSD.org. Released June 1, 2001. Copyright 1997-2001, Theo de Raadt. All applicable copyrights and credits can be found in the applicable file sources found on the two CDROMs in this package. XXX XXX If there are bugs found in this CD release, workaround information XXX can be found at http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html XXX ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please refer to the following files on the two CDROM's for extensive details on how to install OpenBSD 2.9 on your machine: CD1:2.9/i386/INSTALL.i386 CD1:2.9/powerpc/INSTALL.powerpc CD1:2.9/vax/INSTALL.vax CD2:2.9/sparc/INSTALL.sparc CD2:2.9/hp300/INSTALL.hp300 CD2:2.9/mvme68k/INSTALL.mvme68k CD2:2.9/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k CD2:2.9/amiga/INSTALL.amiga ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is quick installation information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above! i386: Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting from CD. Use CD1. Not all BIOS/CDROM combinations work well. If not, write CD1:2.9/i386/floppy29.fs to a floppy, then boot that. Use floppyB29.fs if floppy29.fs turns out to not support a SCSI controller you need. Finally, floppyC29.fs contains cardbus support for laptops. Use cdrom29.fs for a 2.88MB floppy. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another operating system, you will want to read the INSTALL.i386 document. If you have problems with pcibios, use "> boot -c" and then "UKC> disable pcibios"; and after the install read the pcibios(8) manual page. POWERPC: Hold down Command, Option, O and F keys while booting, until you are presented with the Open Firmware > prompt. To boot from CD1, type "boot cd:,ofwboot /2.9/powerpc/bsd.rd". VAX: See the detailed install instructions in INSTALL.vax. SPARC: To boot from CD2, type "boot cdrom 2.9/sparc/bsd.rd", or "b sd(0,6,0)2.9/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version. Otherwise, write CD2:2.9/sparc/floppy29.fs to a floppy and boot it using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version. AMIGA: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section. Mount CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following CLI command: "CD0:2.9/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.9/amiga/bsd.rd". HP300: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in INSTALL.hp300. MAC68K: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX configurations. Extract the Macside utilities from CD2:2.9/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD2:2.9/mac68k/ onto your partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system. MVME68K: See the detailed install instructions in INSTALL.mvme68k. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Further Notes: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use CD1:2.9/tools/rawrite.exe. Under NT, use CD1:2.9/tools/ntrw.exe instead. To write a floppy under Unix, use "dd if= of=/dev/ bs=32k" (where could be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OPERATING SYSTEM SOURCE CD1 has two tar.gz files containing the source tree. These are: CD1:src.tar.gz CD1:srcsys.tar.gz Using these trees it is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as described at http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html. Using these files will result in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from a fresh CVS checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree. To unpack the source trees (assuming the CD is mounted on /mnt): # mkdir /usr/src # cd /usr/src # tar xvfz /mnt/src.tar.gz # tar xvfz /mnt/srcsys.tar.gz If you are doing whole system rebuilds, you probably want to unpack both parts, as shown above. After this, /usr/src will be a nice checkout area where all cvs(1) commands will work. Refer to http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html for more details. If you want just the kernel source from CD1, do the following: # mkdir -p /usr/src # cd /usr/src # tar xvfz /mnt/srcsys.tar.gz For building replacement kernels, the important man pages to read are config(8) and options(4). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CD2 contains the following things: Changelogs/ All the CVS commit logs we have generated while working on the project. ports.tar.gz Our ports tree. Refer to CD2:PORTS XF4.tar.gz A CVS checkout of our version of the XFree86 source tree.
