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

300:
301: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
302: <ul>
303: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
304: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
305: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
306: <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
307:
308: <p>
309: Use <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyB36.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
310: support, or <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyC36.fs</i> for better laptop support.
311:
312: <p>
313: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
314: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
315: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
316:
317: <p>
318: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
319: read INSTALL.i386.
320:
321: <p>
322: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
323: at <i>CD1:3.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
324: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
325: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
326: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
327: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

335: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
336: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

350: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
351: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
352: your BIOS options first.
353: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
354: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.6/amd64/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy, then
355: boot from the floppy drive.
356:
357: <p>
358: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

392: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
393: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.6/sparc/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy.
394: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
395: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of
396: your ROM.
397:
398: <ul><pre>
399: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>

574: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_6</strong>

580: <p>
581: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated

584: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
