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

785: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
786: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
787: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
788: like:
789: <p>
790: <ul><pre>
791: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
792: </pre></ul>
793: <p>
794: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
795: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
796: server.]
797: <p>
798: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
799: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
800: <p>
801: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
802: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
803: place to know.
