1.7 henning 109: <li>New functionality for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bgpd&sektion=8&">bgpd(8)</a>,
110: the Border Gateway Protocol Daemon:
111: <ul>
112: <li>Allow sessions to depend on a CARP interface's master/backup state,
113: reducing failover times in redundant setups
114: <li>While preference was given to older (more stable) routes previously,
115: it is now also possible to go for a deterministic decision process,
116: ignoring the route age.
117: <li>Allow for more than one community to be set per filter rule
118: <li>Lower latency for requests from other peers or bgpctl while under heavy
119: load, e. g. initial table transfer when a session comes up
120: <li>Allow for the peer descriptions to be used in bgpctl commands where
121: previously only their IPs where allowed
122: <li>Allow bgpd to not prepend its own AS number and to not modify the nexthop
123: on updates sent out
124: <li>Show associated interfaces and their state on "show nexthop",
125: to help pointing out why nexthops are invalid
126: <li>Allow for relative metrics modification, i. e.
127: "set localpref +20"
128: </ul>

179: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
180: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

213: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
214: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
215: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
216: <p>
217:
218: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
219: <ul>
220: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
221: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
222: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
223: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
224:
225: <p>
226: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
227: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
228:
229: <p>
230: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
231: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
232: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
233:
234: <p>
235: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
236: read INSTALL.i386.
237:
238: <p>
239: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
240: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
241: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
242: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
243: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
244: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
245: "rfd0a".
246:

248: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
249: </pre></ul>
250:
251: <p>
252: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
253: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
254: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
255: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

266: <ul>
267: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
268: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
269: your BIOS options first.
270: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
271: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
272: boot from the floppy drive.
273:
274: <p>
275: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
276: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
277: INSTALL.amd64 document.

288: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
289:

296: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
297: <ul>
298: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
299: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
300: ROM.
301:
302: <ul><pre>
303: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
304: or
305: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
306: </pre></ul>
307:
308: <p>
309: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
310: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
311: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
312: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of
313: your ROM.
314:

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

504: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
505: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
506: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
507: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
508: like:
509: <p>
510: <ul><pre>
1.5 henning 511: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_7</strong>
1.1 henning 512: </pre></ul>
513: <p>
514: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
515: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
516: server.]
517: <p>
518: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
519: packages for the 3.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
520: <p>
521: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
522: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
523: place to know.
