140: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
141: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

169: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

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

1.1 deraadt 175: <ul>
176: <p>
177: 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 <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppy31.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
178:
179: <p>
180: Use <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyB31.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
181: support, or <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyC31.fs</i> for better laptop support.
182:
183: <p>
184: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
185:
186: <p>
1.8 miod 187: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at <i>CD:/3.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".

287:
288: <p>
289: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy. To do so you need to write "CD3:3.1/sparc/floppy31.fs" to a floppy. For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#4.1">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
