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

304: <ul>
305: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
306: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
307: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
308: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
309:
310: <p>
311: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
312: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
313:
314: <p>
315: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
316: you can install across the network using PXE as described in

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

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