275: <em>ConnectTimeout</em> option is now applied to both the TCP
276: connection and the SSH banner exchange (previously it just covered
277: the TCP connection). This allows callers of

283: <li>Many new regression tests, including interop tests against PuTTY's

288: <li>SSH2_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED packets did not correctly reset the client

291: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
292: used the obselete SIG DNS RRtype for host keys in DNS,

296: upload write fails midway,
297: avoids a fatal() exit from what should be a recoverable condition.</li>
298: <li>Fixed packet size advertisements. Previously TCP and agent
299: forwarding incorrectly advertised the channel window size as the
300: packet size, causing fatal errors under some conditions.</li>

420: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
421: <ul>
422: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
423: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
424: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
425: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
426:
427: <p>
428: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
429: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
430:
431: <p>
432: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
433: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
434: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
435:
436: <p>
437: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
438: read INSTALL.i386.
439:
440: <p>
441: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
442: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
443: use the
444: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
445: utility. The following is an example usage of
446: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
447: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
448: "rfd0a".

451: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

455: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
456: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
457: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

464: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
465: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
466: your BIOS options first.
467: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
468: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
469: boot from the floppy drive.
470:
