167: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
168: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
169: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
170: <p>

172: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
173: <ul>
174: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
175: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
176: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 177: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 178:
179: <p>
1.2 deraadt 180: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
181: support, or <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyC35.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 deraadt 182:
183: <p>
184: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
185: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
186:
187: <p>
188: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
189: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
190: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
191: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
192: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
193: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
194: "rfd0a".

197: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

200: <p>
201: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
202: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
203: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

237: <ul><pre>

242:
243: <p>
244: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.2 deraadt 245: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.5/sparc/floppy35.fs" to a floppy.
1.1 deraadt 246: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
