58: <ul>
59:
1.2 deraadt 60: <li>Improved hardware support, including:
61: <ul>
62: <li>MSI interrupts for many devices, on those architectures which can
63: support them (amd64, i386, sparc64 only so far).
1.23 sthen 64: <li>A new <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dma_alloc&sektion=9">dma_alloc(9)</a> API makes it easier for kernel code to allocate
1.2 deraadt 65: dma-safe memory. Many drivers (especially network drivers) and
66: subsystems (in particular scsi and the buffer cache) were adapted
67: to use this.
68: <li>As a result, big-memory support has been enabled on all possible
69: architectures.
1.23 sthen 70: <li>The rather rare <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=bce&sektion=4">bce(4)</a> driver now copies mbufs all the time, to cope

1.2 deraadt 92: interoperability.

423: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
424: <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.

427: Use <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyB50.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller

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