477: <ul>
478: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
479: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
480: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
481: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
482:
483: <p>
484: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
485: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
486:
487: <p>
488: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
489: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
490: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
491:
492: <p>
493: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
494: read INSTALL.i386.
495:
496: <p>
497: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
498: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
499: use the
500: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
501: utility. The following is an example usage of
502: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
503: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

793: <ul><pre>
794: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_8</strong>

798: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
799: server.]

801: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
802: packages for the 4.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
