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

416: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
417: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
418: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
419: <p>
420:
421: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
422: <ul>
423: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
424: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
425: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
426: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
427:
428: <p>
429: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
430: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
431:
432: <p>
433: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
434: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
435: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
436:
437: <p>
438: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
439: read INSTALL.i386.
440:
441: <p>
442: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
443: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
444: use the
445: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
446: utility. The following is an example usage of
447: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
448: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
449: "rfd0a".
450:

452: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
453: </pre></ul>
454:
455: <p>
456: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
457: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
458: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
459: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

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

764: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
