328: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
329: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
330: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
331: <p>
332:
333: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
334: <ul>
335: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
336: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
337: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
338: <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
339:
340: <p>
341: Use <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyB38.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
342: support, or <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyC38.fs</i> for better laptop support.
343:
344: <p>
345: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
346: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
347: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
348:
349: <p>
350: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
351: read INSTALL.i386.
352:
353: <p>
354: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
355: at <i>CD1:3.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
356: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
357: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
358: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
359: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

365:
366: <p>
367: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
368: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
369: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

383: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
384: your BIOS options first.
385: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
386: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.8/amd64/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy, then
387: boot from the floppy drive.
388:

390: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

424: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
425: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.8/sparc/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy.
426: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

638: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_8</strong>

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

644: <p>
645: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

647: <p>
648: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
649: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
