477: <ul>
478: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
479: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
480: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
481: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
482:
483: <p>
484: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
485: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
486:
487: <p>
488: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
489: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
490: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
491:
492: <p>
493: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
494: read INSTALL.i386.
495:
496: <p>
497: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
498: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
499: use the
500: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
501: utility. The following is an example usage of
502: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

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

770: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

778: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

780: if you know nothing about ports
781: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
782: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
783: OpenBSD ports system.
784: <p>
785: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
786: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">

788: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
789: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
790: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
791: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
792: like:
793: <p>
794: <ul><pre>
795: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
796: </pre></ul>
797: <p>
798: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
799: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
800: server.]
801: <p>
802: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
803: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
804: <p>
805: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
806: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
807: place to know.
