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

498: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
499: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

508: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
509: your BIOS options first.
510: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
511: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
512: boot from the floppy drive.
513:

786: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree

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

795: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

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