232: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
233: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
234: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 235: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 236:
237: <p>
1.2 deraadt 238: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
239: support, or <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyC35.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 deraadt 240:
241: <p>
242: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
243: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
244:
245: <p>
246: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
247: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
248: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
249: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
250: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
251: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

428: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
429: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
430: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
431: Using these files
432: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
433: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

449: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
450: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
451: if you know nothing about ports
452: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
453: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
454: OpenBSD ports system.
455: <p>
456: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
457: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
458: cvs(1)</a> if
459: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
460: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
461: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
462: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
463: like:
464: <p>
465: <ul><pre>
1.2 deraadt 466: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_5</strong>
1.1 deraadt 467: </pre></ul>
468: <p>
469: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
470: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
471: server.]
472: <p>
473: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
474: packages for the 3.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
475: <p>
476: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
477: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
478: place to know.
