806: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
807: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
808: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
809: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
810:
811: <p>
812: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
813: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.

820: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,

825: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
826: read INSTALL.i386.

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

831: use the

1137: <p>
1138: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.86 tb 1139: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
1.68 tedu 1140: cvs(1)</a> if

1142: source tree, our ports tree is available via
1143: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1144: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1145: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
1146: like:
1147: <p>
1148: <ul><pre>
1149: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1150: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
1151: </pre></ul>
1152: <p>
1153: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1154: server.]
1155: <p>
1156: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
1157: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1158: <p>
1159: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1160: would like to know more, the mailing list
1161: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
