507: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
508: <ul>
509: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
510: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
511: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
512: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
513:
514: <p>
515: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
516: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
517:
518: <p>
519: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
520: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
521: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
522:
523: <p>
524: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
525: read INSTALL.i386.
526:
527: <p>
528: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
529: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
530: use the
531: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
532: utility. The following is an example usage of
533: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
534: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

677: and <i>NBO</i> debugger commands. Follow the instructions in INSTALL.mvme88k
678: for more details.

685: commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
686:
687: <ul><pre>
688: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.4/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

694: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
695: To do so you need to write <i>floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy.
696: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
697: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
698: depending on the version of your ROM.
699:
700: <ul><pre>
701: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
702: or
703: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
704: </pre></ul>
705:
706: <p>
707: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
708: will most likely fail.
709:
710: <p>
711: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
712: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
713: INSTALL.sparc file.

767: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
768: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
769: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
770: Using these files

811: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
812: like:
813: <p>
814: <ul><pre>
815: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</strong>

818: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
819: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
820: server.]
821: <p>
822: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
823: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
824: <p>
825: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
826: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
827: place to know.
