423: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
424: <p>
425:
426: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
427: <ul>
428: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
429: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
430: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
431: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
432:
433: <p>
434: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
435: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
436:
437: <p>
438: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
439: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
440: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
441:
442: <p>
443: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
444: read INSTALL.i386.
445:
446: <p>
447: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
448: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
449: use the
450: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
451: utility. The following is an example usage of
452: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
453: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

470: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
471: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
472: your BIOS options first.
473: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
474: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
475: boot from the floppy drive.
476:

733: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
734: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
735: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
736: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
737: like:
738: <p>
739: <ul><pre>
740: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
741: </pre></ul>
742: <p>
743: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
744: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
745: server.]
746: <p>
747: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
748: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
749: <p>
750: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
751: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
752: place to know.
