460: <ul>
461: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
462: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
463: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
464: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
465:
466: <p>
467: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
468: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
469:
470: <p>
471: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
472: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
473: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
474:
475: <p>
476: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
477: read INSTALL.i386.
478:
479: <p>
480: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
481: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
482: use the
483: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
484: utility. The following is an example usage of
485: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
486: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

507: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
508: boot from the floppy drive.

749: <p>
750: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
751: <p>
752: <ul><pre>
753: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
754: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
755: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
756: </pre></ul>
757: <p>
758: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
759: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
760: if you know nothing about ports
761: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
762: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
763: OpenBSD ports system.
764: <p>
765: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.29 sobrado 766: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
1.1 deraadt 767: cvs(1)</a> if
768: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
769: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
770: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
771: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
772: like:
773: <p>
774: <ul><pre>
1.7 jasper 775: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_5</strong>
1.1 deraadt 776: </pre></ul>
777: <p>
778: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
779: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
780: server.]
781: <p>
782: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
783: packages for the 4.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
784: <p>
785: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
786: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
787: place to know.
