! 244: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
! 245: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
! 246: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

! 248:
! 249: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 250: <ul>
! 251: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 252: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 253: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 254: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 255:
! 256: <p>
! 257: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 258: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 259:
! 260: <p>
! 261: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 262: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 263: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 264:
! 265: <p>
! 266: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 267: read INSTALL.i386.
! 268:
! 269: <p>
! 270: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 271: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 272: use the
! 273: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 274: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 275: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 276: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
! 277: "rfd0a".

! 281: </pre></ul>
! 282:
! 283: <p>
! 284: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
! 285: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
! 286: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

! 293: The 5.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
! 294: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
! 295: your BIOS options first.
! 296: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 297: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 298: boot from the floppy drive.
! 299:
! 300: <p>
! 301: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 302: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

! 470: To do so you need to write <i>floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy.
! 471: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

! 566: <p>
! 567: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

! 573: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 574: like:
! 575: <p>
! 576: <ul><pre>
! 577: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_3</strong>

! 579: <p>
! 580: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
! 581: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
! 582: server.]
! 583: <p>
! 584: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
! 585: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.

! 587: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
