210: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
211: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
212: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
213: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be

330: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
331: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
332: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
333: <p>
334:
335: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
336: <ul>
337: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
338: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
339: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
340: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
341:
342: <p>
343: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
344: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
345:
346: <p>
347: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
348: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
349: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
350:
351: <p>
352: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
353: read INSTALL.i386.
354:
355: <p>
356: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
357: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
358: use the
1.11 sthen 359: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 360: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.11 sthen 361: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 sthen 362: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
363: "rfd0a".

366: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
367: </pre></ul>
368:
369: <p>
370: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
371: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
372: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

379: The 5.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
380: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
381: your BIOS options first.
382: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
383: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
384: boot from the floppy drive.
385:
386: <p>
387: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
