297: <li>Over 7,800 XXX ports, major performance and stability improvements in
298: the package build process
299: <ul>
300: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
301: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
302: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
303: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
304: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
305: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

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

429: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
430: <ul>
431: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
432: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
433: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
434: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
435:
436: <p>
437: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
438: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
439:
440: <p>
441: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
442: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
443: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
444:
445: <p>
446: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
447: read INSTALL.i386.
448:
449: <p>
450: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
451: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
452: use the
453: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
454: utility. The following is an example usage of
455: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
456: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
457: "rfd0a".

460: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
461: </pre></ul>
462:
463: <p>
464: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
465: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
466: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

473: The 5.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
474: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
475: your BIOS options first.
476: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
477: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
478: boot from the floppy drive.
479:
