528: <ul>
529: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
530: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
531: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
532: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
533:
534: <p>
535: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
536: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
537:
538: <p>
539: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
540: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
541: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
542:
543: <p>
544: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
545: read INSTALL.i386.
546:
547: <p>
548: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
549: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
550: use the
551: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
552: utility. The following is an example usage of
553: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
554: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

790: <p>
791: <ul><pre>
792: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

797: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
798: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
799: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
800: Using these files
801: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
802: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

828: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
829: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
830: if you know nothing about ports
831: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
832: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
833: OpenBSD ports system.
834: <p>
835: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
836: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
837: cvs(1)</a> if
838: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
839: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
840: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
841: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
842: like:
843: <p>
844: <ul><pre>
1.26 deraadt 845: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_7</strong>
1.1 deraadt 846: </pre></ul>
847: <p>
848: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
849: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
850: server.]
851: <p>
852: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
853: packages for the 4.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
854: <p>
855: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
856: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
857: place to know.
