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

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

749: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

757: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
1.44 jasper 758: read the <a href="faq/faq15.html">ports</a> page
1.1 deraadt 759: if you know nothing about ports
760: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
761: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
762: OpenBSD ports system.
763: <p>
764: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.29 sobrado 765: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">

767: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
768: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
769: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
770: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
771: like:
772: <p>
773: <ul><pre>
1.7 jasper 774: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_5</strong>
1.1 deraadt 775: </pre></ul>
776: <p>
777: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
778: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
779: server.]
780: <p>
781: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
782: packages for the 4.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
783: <p>
784: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
785: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
786: place to know.
