-Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a -CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.9/i386/floppy29.fs to a -floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another -operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386 -document. +Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386 release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write CD1:2.9/i386/floppy29.fs to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
-To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.9/tools/rawrite.exe. Under -Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could -be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect -floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose. +If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document. + +
+To make a boot floopy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at CD:/2.9/tools/rawrite.exe. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the dd(1) utility. The following is an example usage of dd(1), where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a". + +
+# dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k ++ +
+Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to FAQ4.1.
-To boot off CD2, type "boot cdrom 2.9/sparc/bsd.rd", or -"b sd(0,6,0)2.9/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version. -Alternatively, write CD2:2.9/sparc/floppy29.fs to a floppy and boot it -using "boot floppy" or "boot fd()" depending on your ROM version. +The 2.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD2.

+If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternativly boot from floppy. To do so you need to write "CD2:2.9/sparc/floppy29.fs" to a floppy. For more information see FAQ4.1. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM. + +
