307: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
308: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
309: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write

321: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located

323: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=

548: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated

550: <p>
551: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
