463: <ul>
464: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
465: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
466: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
467: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
468:
469: <p>
470: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
471: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
472:
473: <p>
474: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
475: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
476: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
477:
478: <p>
479: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
480: read INSTALL.i386.
481:
482: <p>
483: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
484: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
485: use the
486: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
487: utility. The following is an example usage of
488: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
489: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

508: your BIOS options first.
509: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
510: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
511: boot from the floppy drive.

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

764: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
765: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
766: if you know nothing about ports
767: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
768: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
769: OpenBSD ports system.
770: <p>
771: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
772: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
773: cvs(1)</a> if
774: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
775: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
776: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
777: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
778: like:
779: <p>
780: <ul><pre>
781: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
782: </pre></ul>
783: <p>
784: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
785: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
786: server.]
787: <p>
788: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
789: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
790: <p>
791: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
792: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
793: place to know.
