452: <ul>
453: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
454: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
455: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
456: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
457:
458: <p>
459: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
460: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
461:
462: <p>
463: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
464: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
465: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
466:
467: <p>
468: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
469: read INSTALL.i386.
470:
471: <p>
472: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
473: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
474: use the
1.39 sthen 475: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 476: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.39 sthen 477: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

769: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
770: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
771: if you know nothing about ports
772: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
773: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
774: OpenBSD ports system.
775: <p>
776: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.39 sthen 777: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
1.1 deraadt 778: cvs(1)</a> if
779: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
780: source tree, our ports tree is available via
781: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
782: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
783: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
784: like:
785: <p>
786: <ul><pre>
787: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
788: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_4</strong>
789: </pre></ul>
790: <p>
791: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
792: server.]
793: <p>
794: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
795: packages for the 5.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
796: <p>
797: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
798: would like to know more, the mailing list
799: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
