500: <ul>
501: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
502: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
503: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
504: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
505:
506: <p>
507: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
508: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
509:
510: <p>
511: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
512: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
513: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
514:
515: <p>
516: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
517: read INSTALL.i386.
518:
519: <p>
520: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
521: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
522: use the
523: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
524: utility. The following is an example usage of
525: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
526: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

545: your BIOS options first.
546: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
547: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
548: boot from the floppy drive.

783: If you already have an OpenBSD 4.6 system, and do not want to reinstall,
784: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

791: <p>
792: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
793: <p>
794: <ul><pre>
795: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
796: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
797: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
798: </pre></ul>
799: <p>
800: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
801: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
802: if you know nothing about ports
803: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
804: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
805: OpenBSD ports system.
806: <p>
807: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
808: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
809: cvs(1)</a> if
810: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
811: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
812: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
813: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
814: like:
815: <p>
816: <ul><pre>
1.26 deraadt 817: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_7</strong>
1.1 deraadt 818: </pre></ul>
819: <p>
820: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
821: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
822: server.]
823: <p>
824: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
825: packages for the 4.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
826: <p>
827: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
828: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
829: place to know.
