435: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
436: <ul>
437: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
438: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
439: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
440: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
441:
442: <p>
443: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
444: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
445:
446: <p>
447: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
448: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
449: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
450:
451: <p>
452: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
453: read INSTALL.i386.
454:
455: <p>
456: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
457: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
458: use the
459: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
460: utility. The following is an example usage of
461: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
462: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

483: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
484: boot from the floppy drive.

627: <p>
628: On other systems, or if your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can
629: setup a DHCP/tftp network server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using
630: the kernel matching your system type.

647:

655: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
656: To do so you need to write <i>floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy.
657: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
658: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
659: depending on the version of your ROM.
660:
661: <ul><pre>
662: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
663: or
664: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
665: </pre></ul>
666:
667: <p>
668: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
669: will most likely fail.
670:
671: <p>
672: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
673: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
674: INSTALL.sparc file.

715: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
716: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
717: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
718: Using these files

752: <p>
753: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
754: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">

756: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
757: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
758: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
759: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
760: like:
761: <p>
762: <ul><pre>
763: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_2</strong>
764: </pre></ul>
765: <p>
766: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
767: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
768: server.]
769: <p>
770: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
771: packages for the 5.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
772: <p>
773: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
774: would like to know more, the mailing list
775: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
