554:
1.1 deraadt 555: <p>
556: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
557: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
558: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
559: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
560:
561: <p>
562: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
563: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
564:
565: <p>
566: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
567: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
568: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
569:
570: <p>
571: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
572: read INSTALL.i386.
573:
574: <p>
575: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
576: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
577: use the
1.54 bentley 578: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 579: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.54 bentley 580: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,

597: The 4.8 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
598: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
599: your BIOS options first.
600: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
601: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.8/amd64/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy, then
602: boot from the floppy drive.
603:
604: <p>
605: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
606: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
607: INSTALL.amd64 document.
608:

836: <p>
837: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

1.1 deraadt 839: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
840: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
841: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
842: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
843: like:

849: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
850: server.]
851: <p>
1.56 deraadt 852: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.1 deraadt 853: packages for the 4.8 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
1.56 deraadt 856: would like to know more, the mailing list
857: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
