1.2 deraadt 59: <li>Improved hardware support, including:
60: <ul>
61: <li>MSI interrupts for many devices, on those architectures which can

420: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
421: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
422: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
423: <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
424:
425: <p>
426: Use <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyB50.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
427: support, or <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyC50.fs</i> for better laptop support.
428:
429: <p>
430: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
431: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
432: the included INSTALL.i386 document.

724: OpenBSD ports system.
725: <p>
726: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.22 ! beck 727: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
1.1 deraadt 728: cvs(1)</a> if
729: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
730: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
731: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
732: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
733: like:
734: <p>
735: <ul><pre>
1.4 nick 736: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_0</strong>
1.1 deraadt 737: </pre></ul>
738: <p>
739: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
740: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
741: server.]
742: <p>
743: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
744: packages for the 5.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
745: <p>
746: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
747: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
748: place to know.
