389: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
390: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it

514: <ul>
515: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
516: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
517: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
518: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
519:
520: <p>
521: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
522: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
523:
524: <p>
525: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
526: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
527: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
528:
529: <p>
530: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
531: read INSTALL.i386.
532:
533: <p>
534: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
535: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
536: use the
1.88 ! tb 537: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 538: utility. The following is an example usage of

558: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
559: your BIOS options first.
560: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
561: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
562: boot from the floppy drive.
563:

848: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
849: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
850: <p>
851: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
