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

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

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

361: your BIOS options first.
362: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
