209: the new and improved method.
1.16 deraadt 210: <li>Dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least

1.8 espie 221: old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly

223: depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
224: small data-size limits.

344: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

348: <ul>
349: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
350: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
351: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
352: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
353:
354: <p>
355: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
356: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
357:
358: <p>
359: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
360: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
361: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
362:
363: <p>
364: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
365: read INSTALL.i386.
366:
367: <p>
368: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
369: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
370: use the
371: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
372: utility. The following is an example usage of
373: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
374: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

393: your BIOS options first.
394: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
395: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
396: boot from the floppy drive.
