369: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
370: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
371: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
372: <p>
373:
374: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
375: <ul>
376: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
377: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
378: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
379: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
380:
381: <p>
382: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
383: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
384:
385: <p>
386: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
387: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
388: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
389:
390: <p>
391: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
392: read INSTALL.i386.
393:
394: <p>
395: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
396: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
397: use the
398: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
399: utility. The following is an example usage of
400: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
401: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
402: "rfd0a".
403:
404: <ul><pre>
405: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
406: </pre></ul>
407:
408: <p>
409: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
410: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
411: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
412: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

417: <ul>
418: The 4.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
419: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
420: your BIOS options first.
421: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
422: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
423: boot from the floppy drive.
424:
425: <p>
426: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
427: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

682: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</strong>

689: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

691: <p>
692: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
