212: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
213: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
214: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
215: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
1.29 sthen 216: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

334: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

337: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
338: <ul>
339: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
340: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
341: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
342: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
343:
344: <p>
345: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
346: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
347:
348: <p>
349: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
350: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
351: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
352:
353: <p>
354: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
355: read INSTALL.i386.
356:
357: <p>
358: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
359: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
360: use the
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: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.11 sthen 363: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 sthen 364: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
365: "rfd0a".

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

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