460: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
461: <ul>
462: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
463: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
464: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
465: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
466:
467: <p>
468: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
469: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
470:
471: <p>
472: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
473: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
474: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
475:
476: <p>
477: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
478: read INSTALL.i386.
479:
480: <p>
481: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
482: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
483: use the
484: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
485: utility. The following is an example usage of
486: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
487: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

505: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
506: your BIOS options first.
507: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
508: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
509: boot from the floppy drive.
510:

783: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
784: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

788: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_2</strong>

792: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
793: server.]

795: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
