456: <ul>
457: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
458: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
459: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
460: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
461:
462: <p>
463: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
464: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
465:
466: <p>
467: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
468: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
469: the included INSTALL.i386 document.

471: <p>
472: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
473: read INSTALL.i386.
474:
475: <p>
476: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
477: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
478: use the
479: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
480: utility. The following is an example usage of
481: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
482: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

773: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

776: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
777: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
778: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
779: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
780: like:
781: <p>
782: <ul><pre>
783: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_2</strong>

785: <p>
786: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
787: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
788: server.]
789: <p>
790: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
791: packages for the 5.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
792: <p>
793: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
794: would like to know more, the mailing list
795: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
