59: <ul>
1.74 deraadt 60: <li><a href="amd64.html">OpenBSD/amd64</a><br>
61: Supporting the AMD64 architecture natively,
62: with full 64-bit support, 8 extra registers in the architecture
63: to significantly increase performance, and a memory management
64: Non-Executable bit that permits full W^X support.<br>
1.94 david 65: (Note: The upcoming Intel "ia32e" AMD64-compatible CPUs have also
1.74 deraadt 66: been tested, and work, even though they lack the NX bit).
67: <li><a href="cats.html">OpenBSD/cats</a><br>
1.94 david 68: Our first entry in the ARM-CPU landscape. We intend to use this as a

169: <li>A <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/poll.2">poll</a> interface has been added to the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rpc.3">rpc</a> routines in the standard C library. Use of <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/poll.2">poll</a> over <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/select.2">select</a> can result in better performance for programs with a large number of open file descriptors.

335: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
336: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
337: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
338: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
339: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
340: purchased a CDROM instead.

393: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
394: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 395: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 396:

411: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
1.83 tom 412: at <i>CD1:3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.119 bentley 413: use the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
414: utility. The following is an example usage of
