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

781: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
782: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
783: if you know nothing about ports
784: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
785: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
786: OpenBSD ports system.
787: <p>
788: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
789: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
790: cvs(1)</a> if
791: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
792: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
793: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
794: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
795: like:
796: <p>
797: <ul><pre>
798: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_8</strong>
799: </pre></ul>
800: <p>
801: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
802: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
803: server.]
804: <p>
805: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
806: packages for the 4.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
807: <p>
808: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
809: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
810: place to know.
