221: <ul>
222: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
223: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
224: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 225: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 226:
227: <p>
1.2 deraadt 228: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
229: support, or <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyC35.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 deraadt 230:
231: <p>
232: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
233: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
234:
235: <p>
236: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
237: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
238: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
239: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
240: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
241: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

292: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.2 deraadt 293: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.5/sparc/floppy35.fs" to a floppy.
1.1 deraadt 294: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from

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