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
310: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
311:
312: <p>
313: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
314: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
315:
316: <p>
317: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

326: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
327: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
328: use the
329: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
330: utility. The following is an example usage of
331: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
332: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

340: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

348: <ul>
349: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
350: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
351: your BIOS options first.
352: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
353: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
354: boot from the floppy drive.
355:
356: <p>
357: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
358: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
359: INSTALL.amd64 document.

389:
390: <p>
391: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
392: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
393: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

619: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>

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

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

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