286:
287: <li>Over 7,800 XXX ports, major performance and stability improvements in
288: the package build process
289: <ul>
290: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
291: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
292: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
293: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
294: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
295: preferentially restarted on the same machine.
296: </ul>
297: <p>
298: <li>Many pre-built packages for each architecture:

376: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style

414: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
415: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
416: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
417: <p>
418:
419: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
420: <ul>
421: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
422: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
423: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
424: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
425:
426: <p>
427: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
428: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
429:
430: <p>
431: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
432: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
433: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
434:
435: <p>
436: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
437: read INSTALL.i386.
438:
439: <p>
440: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
441: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
442: use the
443: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
444: utility. The following is an example usage of
445: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
446: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
447: "rfd0a".
448:
449: <ul><pre>
450: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
451: </pre></ul>
452:
453: <p>
454: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
455: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
456: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
457: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

462: <ul>
463: The 5.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
464: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
465: your BIOS options first.
466: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
467: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
468: boot from the floppy drive.
469:
470: <p>
471: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
472: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

743: <p>
744: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

750: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree

758: <p>
759: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs

761: <p>
762: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
763: packages for the 5.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
