314: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
315: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
316: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
317: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
318: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
319: purchased a CDROM instead.

347: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
348: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
349: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

353: <ul>
354: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
355: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
356: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 357: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 358:
359: <p>
1.2 deraadt 360: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
361: support, or <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyC35.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 deraadt 362:
363: <p>
364: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
365: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
366:
367: <p>
368: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
369: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
370: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
371: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
372: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
373: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
374: "rfd0a".

377: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
378: </pre></ul>
379:
380: <p>
381: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
382: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
383: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

423: <p>
424: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.2 deraadt 425: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.5/sparc/floppy35.fs" to a floppy.
1.1 deraadt 426: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
