519: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
520: To do so you need to write <i>floppy58.fs</i> to a floppy.
521: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
522: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

525: <ul><pre>
526: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
527: or

533: will most likely fail.
534:

536: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either

613: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
614: OpenBSD ports system.
615: <p>
616: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
617: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
618: cvs(1)</a> if
619: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
620: source tree, our ports tree is available via
621: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
622: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
623: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
624: with a command like:
625: <p>
626: <ul><pre>
627: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.2 deraadt 628: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_8</strong>
1.1 deraadt 629: </pre></ul>
630: <p>
631: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
632: server.]
633: <p>
634: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
635: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
636: <p>
637: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
638: would like to know more, the mailing list
639: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
