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

769: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

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