1.2 deraadt 76: <li>Improved hardware support, including:
77: <ul>
78: <li>MSI interrupts for many devices, on those architectures which can
79: support them (amd64, i386, sparc64 only so far).
1.6 deraadt 80: <li>A new <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dma_alloc&sektion=9">dma_alloc(9)</a> API makes it easier for kernel code to allocate
1.2 deraadt 81: dma-safe memory. Many drivers (especially network drivers) and
82: subsystems (in particular scsi and the buffer cache) were adapted
83: to use this.
84: <li>As a result, big-memory support has been enabled on all possible
85: architectures.
1.6 deraadt 86: <li>The rather rare <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bce&sektion=4">bce(4)</a> driver now copies mbufs all the time, to cope
1.2 deraadt 87: with the hardware having a 1GB limit.
1.6 deraadt 88: <li>Added <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hds&sektion=4">hds(4)</a>, a driver for Hitachi Modular Storage SCSI devices.

436: <ul>
437: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
438: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
439: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
440: <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
441:
442: <p>
443: Use <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyB50.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
444: support, or <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyC50.fs</i> for better laptop support.
445:
446: <p>
447: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
448: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
449: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
450:
451: <p>
452: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
453: read INSTALL.i386.
454:
455: <p>
456: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
457: at <i>CD1:5.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
458: use the
459: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
460: utility. The following is an example usage of
461: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

707: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
708: Using these files
709: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
710: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

728: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

730: <ul><pre>
731: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>

733: # <strong>cd ports</strong>

735: <p>
736: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
737: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
738: if you know nothing about ports
739: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
740: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
741: OpenBSD ports system.
742: <p>
743: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
744: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
745: cvs(1)</a> if
746: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
747: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
748: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
749: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
750: like:
751: <p>
752: <ul><pre>
1.4 nick 753: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_0</strong>
1.1 deraadt 754: </pre></ul>
755: <p>
756: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
757: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
758: server.]
759: <p>
760: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
761: packages for the 5.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
762: <p>
763: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
764: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
765: place to know.
