468: <ul>
469: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
470: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
471: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
472: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
473:
474: <p>
475: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
476: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
477:
478: <p>
479: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
480: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
481: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
482:
483: <p>
484: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
485: read INSTALL.i386.
486:
487: <p>
488: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
489: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
490: use the
491: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
492: utility. The following is an example usage of
493: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
494: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

513: your BIOS options first.
514: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
515: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
516: boot from the floppy drive.

768: <p>
769: If you already have an OpenBSD 5.3 system, and do not want to reinstall,
770: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
771: <a href="faq/upgrade54.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.

776: <h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
777: <p>
778: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
779: <p>
780: <ul><pre>
781: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
782: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
783: </pre></ul>
784: <p>
785: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
786: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
787: if you know nothing about ports
788: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
789: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
790: OpenBSD ports system.
791: <p>
792: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
793: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
794: cvs(1)</a> if
795: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
796: source tree, our ports tree is available via
797: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
798: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
799: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
800: like:
801: <p>
802: <ul><pre>
803: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
804: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_4</strong>
805: </pre></ul>
806: <p>
807: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
808: server.]
809: <p>
810: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
811: packages for the 5.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
812: <p>
813: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
814: would like to know more, the mailing list
815: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
