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

290: <ul>
291: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
292: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
293: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
294: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
295:
296: <p>
297: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
298: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
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
303: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
304:
305: <p>
306: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
307: read INSTALL.i386.
308:
309: <p>
310: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
311: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
312: use the

336: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
337: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then

612: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
613: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
614: like:
615: <p>

617: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_3</strong>

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