454: <ul>
455: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
456: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
457: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
458: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
459:
460: <p>
461: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
462: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
463:
464: <p>
465: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
466: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
467: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
468:
469: <p>
470: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
471: read INSTALL.i386.
472:
473: <p>
474: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
475: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
476: use the
1.43 tb 477: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 478: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.43 tb 479: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

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