57:
1.2 deraadt 58: <li>Improved hardware support, including:
59: <ul>
60: <li>MSI interrupts for many devices, on those architectures which can

1.31 bentley 62: <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 63: dma-safe memory. Many drivers (especially network drivers) and
64: subsystems (in particular scsi and the buffer cache) were adapted
65: to use this.
66: <li>As a result, big-memory support has been enabled on all possible
67: architectures.
1.31 bentley 68: <li>The rather rare <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/bce.4">bce(4)</a> driver now copies mbufs all the time, to cope
1.2 deraadt 69: with the hardware having a 1GB limit.

429: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
430: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
431: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

433: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
434:
1.1 deraadt 435: <p>
436: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
437: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
438: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
439: <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
440:
441: <p>
442: Use <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyB50.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
443: support, or <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyC50.fs</i> for better laptop support.
444:
445: <p>
446: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
447: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
448: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
449:
450: <p>
451: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
452: read INSTALL.i386.
453:
454: <p>
455: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
456: at <i>CD1:5.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
457: use the
1.31 bentley 458: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 459: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.31 bentley 460: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 461: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

469: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

476: <p>
477: The 5.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
478: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
479: your BIOS options first.
480: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
481: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.0/amd64/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy, then
482: boot from the floppy drive.
483:
484: <p>
485: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
486: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
487: INSTALL.amd64 document.
488:
489: <p>
490: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
491: read INSTALL.amd64.

511: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

706: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
707: if you know nothing about ports
708: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
709: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
710: OpenBSD ports system.
711: <p>
712: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.33 bentley 713: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs.1">cvs(1)</a> if
1.1 deraadt 714: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
715: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
716: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
717: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
718: like:
1.31 bentley 719: <blockquote><pre>
1.32 deraadt 720: # <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_0</kbd>
1.31 bentley 721: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 722: <p>
723: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
724: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
725: server.]
726: <p>
1.32 deraadt 727: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.1 deraadt 728: packages for the 5.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
729: <p>
730: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1.32 deraadt 731: would like to know more, the mailing list
732: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
