Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had purchased a CDROM instead.
Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
Use CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs instead for greater SCSI controller support, or CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs for better laptop support.
If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk, you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included INSTALL.i386 document.
If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read INSTALL.i386.
To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the utility. The following is an example usage of , where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".
# dd if=of=/dev/ bs=32k
Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to .
If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk, you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included INSTALL.amd64 document.
If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read INSTALL.amd64.
Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter boot cd:,ofwboot /4.5/macppc/bsd.rd
If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write CD3:4.5/sparc64/floppy45.fs or CD3:4.5/sparc64/floppyB45.fs (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with boot floppy. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
You can also write CD3:4.5/sparc64/miniroot45.fs to the swap partition on the disk and boot with boot disk:b.
If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64.
Write FTP:4.5/alpha/floppy45.fs or FTP:4.5/alpha/floppyB45.fs (depending on your machine) to a diskette and enter boot dva0. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
After connecting a serial port, Thecus can boot directly from the network either tftp or http. Configure the network using fconfig, reset, then load bsd.rd, see INSTALL.armish for specific details. IOData HDL-G can only boot from an EXT-2 partition. Boot into linux and copy 'boot' and bsd.rd into the first partition on wd0 (hda1) then load and run bsd.rd, preserving the wd0i (hda1) ext2fs partition. More details are available in INSTALL.armish.
Boot over the network by following the instructions in INSTALL.hp300.
Boot over the network by following the instructions in INSTALL.hppa or the .
Write miniroot45.fs to the start of the CF or disk, and boot normally.
Boot MacOS as normal and extract the Macside "BSD/Mac68k Booter" utility from FTP:4.5/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Configure the "BSD/Mac68k Booter" with the location of your bsd.rd kernel and boot into the installer. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.mac68k for more details.
You can create a bootable installation tape or boot over the network.
The network boot requires a MVME68K BUG version that supports the NIOT
and NBO debugger commands. Follow the instructions in INSTALL.mvme68k
for more details.

for more details.
ok boot cdrom 4.5/sparc/bsd.rd
or
> b sd(0,6,0)4.5/sparc/bsd.rd
If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy. To do so you need to write floppy45.fs to a floppy. For more information see . To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
ok boot floppy
or
> b fd()
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the INSTALL.sparc file.
Burn cd45.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your machine and select Install System Software from the System Maintenance menu.
If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd". Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.
After connecting a serial port, boot over the network via DHCP/tftp. Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.socppc for more details.
Using the Linux built-in graphical ipkg installer, install the openbsd45_arm.ipk package. Reboot, then run it. Read INSTALL.zaurus for a few important details.
# mkdir -p /usr/src
# cd /usr/src
# tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz
sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys. This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels. To extract:
# mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
# cd /usr/src
# tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz
Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as described . 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.
If you already have an OpenBSD 4.4 system, and do not want to reinstall, upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the .
A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
# cd /usr
# tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz
# cd ports
The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go read the page if you know nothing about ports at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports. Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the OpenBSD ports system.
The ports/ directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for if you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the ports/ tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command like:
# cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_5
[Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs server.]
Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated packages for the 4.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good place to know.
