1.14 sobrado 309: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
310: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and

314: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections

351: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a

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

579: <ul>
580: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
581: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
582: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
583: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
584:
585: <p>
586: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
587: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
588:
589: <p>
1.58 bcallah 590: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install56.fs</i> or
591: <i>miniroot56.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
592:
593: <p>
594: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.1 deraadt 595: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
596: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
597:
598: <p>
599: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
600: read INSTALL.i386.
601:
602: <p>
603: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
604: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
605: use the
1.68 tb 606: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 607: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.68 tb 608: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 609: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
