304: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
305: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
306: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
307: <p>
308:
309: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
310: <ul>
311: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
312: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
313: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
314: <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
315:
316: <p>
317: Use <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyB36.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
318: support, or <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyC36.fs</i> for better laptop support.
319:
320: <p>
321: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
322: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
323: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
324:
325: <p>
326: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
327: read INSTALL.i386.
328:
329: <p>
330: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
331: at <i>CD1:3.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
332: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
333: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
334: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
335: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

340: </pre></ul>
341:
342: <p>
343: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
344: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
345: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

358: The 3.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
359: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
360: your BIOS options first.
361: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
362: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.6/amd64/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy, then
363: boot from the floppy drive.
364:
365: <p>
366: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

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

589: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
