! 251: the package build process
! 252: <ul>
! 253: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
! 254: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
! 255: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
! 256: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
! 257: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
! 258: preferentially restarted on the same machine.
! 259: </ul>
! 260: <p>
! 261: <li>Many pre-built packages for each architecture:

! 382: <ul>
! 383: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 384: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 385: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 386: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 387:
! 388: <p>
! 389: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 390: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 391:
! 392: <p>
! 393: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 394: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 395: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 396:
! 397: <p>
! 398: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 399: read INSTALL.i386.
! 400:
! 401: <p>
! 402: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 403: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 404: use the
! 405: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 406: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 407: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 408: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

! 414:

! 416: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

! 428: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 429: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
