140: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of

142: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
143: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
144: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had

176: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
177: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
178: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
179: <p>
180:
181: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
182: <ul>
183: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
184: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
185: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
186: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
187:
188: <p>
189: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
190: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
191:
192: <p>
193: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
194: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
195: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
196:
197: <p>
198: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
199: read INSTALL.i386.
200:
201: <p>
202: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
203: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
204: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
205: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
206: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
207: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
208: "rfd0a".
209:
210: <ul><pre>
211: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
212: </pre></ul>
213:
214: <p>
215: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
216: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
217: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
218: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

229: <ul>
230: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
231: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
232: your BIOS options first.
233: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
234: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
235: boot from the floppy drive.
236:
237: <p>
238: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
239: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
240: INSTALL.amd64 document.
241:
242: <p>
243: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
244: read INSTALL.amd64.

246:
247: <p>
248: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>
249: <ul>
250: Put the CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
251: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
252:
253: <p>
254: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

259: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
260: <ul>
261: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
262: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
263: ROM.
264:
265: <ul><pre>
266: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
267: or
268: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
269: </pre></ul>
270:
271: <p>
272: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
273: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
274: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
275: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of
276: your ROM.
277:
278: <ul><pre>
279: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
280: or
281: > <strong>b fd()</strong>

285: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
286: will most likely fail.
287:
288: <p>
289: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
290: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
291: INSTALL.sparc file.
292: </ul>
293:
294: <p>
295: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>

297: Put the CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
298:
299: <p>
300: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
301: <i>CD3:3.7/sparc64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
302: floppy</i>.<br>
303: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install

305:
306: <p>
