1.2 deraadt 62: <li>Improved hardware support, including:
63: <ul>
64: <li>MSI interrupts for many devices, on those architectures which can

1.6 deraadt 66: <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 67: dma-safe memory. Many drivers (especially network drivers) and
68: subsystems (in particular scsi and the buffer cache) were adapted
69: to use this.
70: <li>As a result, big-memory support has been enabled on all possible
71: architectures.

422: <ul>
423: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
424: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
425: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
426: <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
427:
428: <p>
429: Use <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyB50.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
430: support, or <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyC50.fs</i> for better laptop support.
431:
432: <p>
433: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
434: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
435: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
436:
437: <p>
438: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
439: read INSTALL.i386.
440:
441: <p>
442: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
443: at <i>CD1:5.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
444: use the
445: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
446: utility. The following is an example usage of
447: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

705: If you already have an OpenBSD 4.9 system, and do not want to reinstall,
706: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

712: <h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
713: <p>
714: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
715: <p>
716: <ul><pre>
717: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
718: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
719: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
720: </pre></ul>
721: <p>
722: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
723: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
724: if you know nothing about ports
725: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
726: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
727: OpenBSD ports system.
728: <p>
729: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
730: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
731: cvs(1)</a> if
732: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
733: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
734: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
735: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
736: like:
737: <p>
738: <ul><pre>
1.4 nick 739: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_0</strong>
1.1 deraadt 740: </pre></ul>
741: <p>
742: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
743: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
744: server.]
745: <p>
746: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
747: packages for the 5.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
748: <p>
749: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
750: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
751: place to know.
