286: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
287: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
288: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 289: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 290:
291: <p>
1.2 deraadt 292: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller

296: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
297: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
298:
299: <p>
300: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
301: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
302: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
303: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
304: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)

514: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
515: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
516: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
517: like:

523: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
524: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

526: <p>
527: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
528: packages for the 3.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
529: <p>
530: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
531: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
532: place to know.
