264: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
265: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
266: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
267: <p>
268:
269: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
270: <ul>
271: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
272: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
273: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
274: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
275:
276: <p>
277: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
278: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
279:
280: <p>
281: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
282: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
283: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
284:
285: <p>
286: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
287: read INSTALL.i386.
288:
289: <p>
290: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
291: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
292: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
293: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
294: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
295: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
296: "rfd0a".

299: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
300: </pre></ul>
301:
302: <p>
303: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
304: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
305: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
306: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

317: <ul>
318: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
319: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
320: your BIOS options first.
321: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
322: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
323: boot from the floppy drive.
324:
325: <p>
326: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
327: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
328: INSTALL.amd64 document.

349: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
350: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
351: ROM.
352:
353: <ul><pre>
354: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

356: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
357: </pre></ul>
358:
359: <p>
360: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
361: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
362: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
363: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of

377: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
378: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the

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

577: <p>
578: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
