The amiga-specific portion of the OpenBSD 2.1 release is found in the
"amiga" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is layed
out as follows:

.../2.1/amiga/
		INSTALL.amiga	This file.

		kernels/	A generic OpenBSD kernel is found here.

		miniroots/	An amiga installation and upgrade
				file system image; see below.

		tars/		amiga binary distribution sets;
				see below.

		tars.split/	amiga binary distribution sets
				splitted in 80k parts.

		utils/		Miscellaneous amiga
				installation utilities; see
				installation section, below.

There is one amiga file system image to be found in the "amiga/miniroots"
subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.1 distribution.  It's a combined upgrade
and installation image.  It's described in more detail below.  There is
a gzipped version available, for easier downloading.  (The gzipped version
has the ".gz" extension added to its name.)

Installation/upgrade file system:

	This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help
	you install or upgrade the rest of OpenBSD.  This includes
	formatting root and /usr partitions in the case of an install
	or converting existing ones if doing an upgrade (this conversion
	is only needed if you are coming from a real old NetBSD world),
	then mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting
	ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution
	sets.  There is enough on this file system to allow you to
	make a slip or ppp connection, configure an ethernet, mount an
	NFS file system or ftp.  You can also load distribution sets from
	a SCSI tape or from one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions.

	This file is named "miniroot21.fs".


The OpenBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the OpenBSD 2.1 release for the amiga.  There are seven binary
distribution sets.  The binary distribution sets can be found in
subdirectories of the "amiga/tars" subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.1
distribution tree, and are as follows (all have ".tar.gz" appended to
the name given in the table below):

	base21	The OpenBSD/amiga 2.1 base binary distribution.  You
		MUST install this distribution set.  It contains the
		base OpenBSD utilities that are necessary for the
		system to run and be minimally functional.  It
		includes shared library support, and excludes
		everything described below.
		[ 11M gzipped, 35M uncompressed ]

	comp21	The OpenBSD/amiga Compiler tools.  The C, C++, and
		FORTRAN language environments are supported.  This set
		includes the system include files (/usr/include), the
		linker, the compiler tool chain, and the various system
		libraries (except the shared libraries, which are
		included as part of the base set).  This set also
		includes the manual pages for all of the utilities it
		contains, as well as the system call and library manual
		pages.
		[ 7M gzipped, 23M uncompressed ]

	etc21	This distribution set contains the system configuration
		files that reside in /etc and in several other places.
		This set MUST be installed if you are installing the
		system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are
		upgrading.  (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that
		you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your
		configuration files by hand.)
		[ 70K gzipped, 380K uncompressed ]

	game21	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
		[ 3M gzipped, 7M uncompressed ]

	man21	This set includes all of the manual pages for the
		binaries and other software contained in the base set.
		Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
		that are included in the other sets.
		[ 2M gzipped, 8M uncompressed ]

	misc21	This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
		rather large), the typesettable document set, and
		man pages for other architectures which happen to be
		installed from the source tree by default.
		[ 2M gzipped, 6M uncompressed ]

	text21	This set includes OpenBSD's text processing tools,
		including groff, all related programs, and their
		manual pages.
		[ 1M gzipped, 4M uncompressed ]

The amiga binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
form a gzipped tar file.  Each amiga binary distribution set also has
its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do.

The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  That
is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp"
from /.
