313: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
314: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
315: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
316: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

436: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
437: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

440: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
441: <ul>
442: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
443: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
444: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
445: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
446:
447: <p>
448: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
449: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
450:
451: <p>
452: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
453: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
454: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
455:
456: <p>
457: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
458: read INSTALL.i386.
459:
460: <p>
461: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
462: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
463: use the
464: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
465: utility. The following is an example usage of
466: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
467: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
468: "rfd0a".

471: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
472: </pre></ul>
473:
474: <p>
475: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
476: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
477: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

484: The 5.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
485: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
486: your BIOS options first.
487: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
488: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
489: boot from the floppy drive.
490:
