794: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
795: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
796: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
797: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
798:
799: <p>
800: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
801: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.

817: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located

819: use the

1123: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

1125: <p>
1126: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.86 tb 1127: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
1.68 tedu 1128: cvs(1)</a> if

1130: source tree, our ports tree is available via
1131: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1132: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1133: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
1134: like:
1135: <p>
1136: <ul><pre>
1137: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1138: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
1139: </pre></ul>
1140: <p>
1141: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1142: server.]
1143: <p>
1144: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
1145: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1146: <p>
1147: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1148: would like to know more, the mailing list
1149: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
