! 291: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

! 293:
! 294: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 295: <ul>
! 296: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 297: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 298: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 299: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 300:
! 301: <p>
! 302: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 303: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 304:
! 305: <p>
! 306: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 307: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 308: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 309:
! 310: <p>
! 311: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 312: read INSTALL.i386.
! 313:
! 314: <p>
! 315: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 316: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 317: use the
! 318: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 319: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 320: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 321: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
! 322: "rfd0a".
! 323:

! 325: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
! 326: </pre></ul>
! 327:
! 328: <p>
! 329: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
! 330: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
! 331: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
! 332: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

! 338: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
! 339: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
! 340: your BIOS options first.
! 341: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 342: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 343: boot from the floppy drive.
! 344:
! 345: <p>
! 346: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

! 619: <p>
! 620: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 621: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
! 622: cvs(1)</a> if

! 625: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
! 626: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
! 627: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
! 628: like:
! 629: <p>
! 630: <ul><pre>
! 631: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
! 632: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
! 633: </pre></ul>
! 634: <p>
! 635: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
! 636: server.]
! 637: <p>
! 638: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
! 639: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 640: <p>
! 641: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 642: would like to know more, the mailing list
! 643: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
