306: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
307: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
308: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
309: <p>
310:
311: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
312: <ul>
313: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
314: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
315: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
316: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
317:
318: <p>
319: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
320: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
321:
322: <p>
323: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
324: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
325: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
326:
327: <p>
328: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
329: read INSTALL.i386.
330:
331: <p>
332: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
333: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
334: use the
335: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
336: utility. The following is an example usage of

354: <ul>
355: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
356: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
357: your BIOS options first.
358: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
359: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
360: boot from the floppy drive.
361:
362: <p>
363: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
364: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
365: INSTALL.amd64 document.
366:
367: <p>
368: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
369: read INSTALL.amd64.

619: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_3</strong>

622: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
623: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
624: server.]
625: <p>
626: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
627: packages for the 4.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
628: <p>
629: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
630: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
