1.31 ! bentley 76: <li>A new <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dma_alloc.9">dma_alloc(9)</a> API makes it easier for kernel code to allocate
1.2 deraadt 77: dma-safe memory. Many drivers (especially network drivers) and
78: subsystems (in particular scsi and the buffer cache) were adapted
79: to use this.
80: <li>As a result, big-memory support has been enabled on all possible
81: architectures.
1.31 ! bentley 82: <li>The rather rare <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bce.4">bce(4)</a> driver now copies mbufs all the time, to cope

1.1 deraadt 431: <p>
432: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
433: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
434: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
435: <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
436:
437: <p>
438: Use <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyB50.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
439: support, or <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyC50.fs</i> for better laptop support.
440:
441: <p>
442: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
443: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
444: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
445:

447: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
448: read INSTALL.i386.

451: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
452: at <i>CD1:5.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
453: use the

476: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
477: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.0/amd64/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy, then
478: boot from the floppy drive.
479:

481: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
