This is one of the CDROM's in the OpenBSD 2.3 package. For more OpenBSD information check www.OpenBSD.org. Released May 19, 1998. Copyright 1997, 1998, 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 2.3 on your machine: CD1:2.3/arc/INSTALL.arc CD1:2.3/hp300/INSTALL.hp300 CD1:2.3/i386/INSTALL.i386 CD1:2.3/mac68k/INSTALL.mac68k CD1:2.3/pmax/INSTALL.pmax CD1:2.3/sparc/INSTALL.sparc CD2:2.3/alpha/INSTALL.alpha CD2:2.3/amiga/INSTALL.amiga CD2:2.3/mvme68k/INSTALL.mvme68k CD2:2.3/powerpc/INSTALL.powerpc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick installer 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 off a CD; try using CD1. Not all BIOS/CDROM combinations work well. If not, write CD1:2.3/i386/floppy23.fs to a floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386 document. ARC: Using CD1, tell the BOOT ROM to load the file CD1:\2.3\arc\bsd.rd. If that does not work, create a MSDOS filesystem using your vendor's arc setup program, copy CD1:2.3/arc/bsd.rd to there and attempt to boot it. SPARC: To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.3/sparc/bsd.rd", or "b sd(0,6,0)2.3/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version. Alternatively, write CD1:2.3/sparc/floppy23.fs to a floppy and boot it using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version. Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.3/sparc/kc.fs and CD1:2.3/sparc/inst.fs to two seperate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs", and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions. PMAX: Write the simpleroot23.fs onto the start of the disk using dd on another machine. After moving the disk drive, use "boot -f rz(0,0,0)/bsd" (2100/3100) or "boot 5/rz0a/bsd" (5000). Alternatively, install via network as described in detail in INSTALL.pmax. AMIGA: Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section. Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following CLI command: "CD0:2.3/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.3/amiga/bsd.rd". HP300: You can boot over the network by following the instructions in INSTALL.hp300. ALPHA: Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM drive, you can try to boot CD2 using "boot -fi 2.3/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise, write CD2:2.3/alpha/floppy.fs to a floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot. MAC68K: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from CD1:2.3/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 CD1:2.3/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: Theo has no real idea. In the rush to get everything else done, the install stuff for the mvme68k was never completed. Enough pieces are included so that a really skilled person could find a way to install it; perhaps using netbooting. Good luck! POWERPC: Board must have OpenFirmware for booting. Boot from the CD with the command (assuming the cdrom is SCSI id 4): boot /pci/scsi@c/disk@4,0:\2.3\powerpc\ofwboot 2.3/powerpc/bsd.rd then follow the instructions. Alternatively, attempt netbooting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Further Notes: To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.3/tools/rawrite.exe. Under Unix, use "dd if= of=/dev/ bs=32k" (where device could be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CD#1 contains a regular CVS checkout starting in /. Using this tree 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 results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree. There are two ways of using the CD: 1) copy the tree off it, (assuming the CD is mounted on /mnt): # mkdir /usr/src # cd /mnt; cp -Rp CVS Makefile bin distrib etc games gnu \ include kerberosIV lib libexec lkm regress sbin share \ sys usr.bin usr.sbin /usr/src 2) Or, alternatively, use a union mount with the CD below a writable directory. # mkdir /usr/src # mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/src After this, /usr/src will be a nice checkout area where all cvs(1) commands will work OK. Refer to http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html for more details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KERNEL SOURCE If you want the kernel source copied off CD1, do the following: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # cd /mnt/sys # tar cf - . | (cd /usr/src/sys; tar xvf - ) Important man pages to read are config(8) and options(4). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To compile a kernel from the readonly CD mounted on /usr/src: cd /somewhere cp /usr/src/sys/arch/$ARCH/conf/SOMEFILE . edit SOMEFILE (to make any changes you want) config -s /usr/src/sys -b . SOMEFILE make $ARCH should be the architecture (e.g. i386). If you like, do a "make depend" too so you'll have your dependencies there next time you do a compile. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CD#2 contains the following things: www/ This is a CVS checkout of our web pages. This is basically what the OpenBSD web pages used to look like. You can find some of the OpenBSD graphics here as well... Changelogs/ This is all of the CVS commit logs we have generated while working on the project. packages/ A number of pre-compiled binary packages for the system. Refer to CD2:/README.packages ports/ Our ports tree. Refer to CD2:/README.ports distfiles/ Our ports tree distfiles. Refer to CD2:/README.ports X11/ A CVS checkout of our version of the XFree86 source tree. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have installed the system, root will have mail. Read that mail. Alternatively, read the file "root.mail" in the pub/OpenBSD/2.3/ directory on the ftp mirrors.
