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

305: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
306: </pre></ul>
307:
308: <p>
309: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
310: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
311: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
312: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

323: <ul>
324: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
325: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
326: your BIOS options first.
327: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
328: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
329: boot from the floppy drive.
330:
331: <p>
332: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
333: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
334: INSTALL.amd64 document.

353: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
354: <ul>
355: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
356: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
357: ROM.
358:
359: <ul><pre>
360: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

362: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
363: </pre></ul>
364:
365: <p>
366: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
367: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
368: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
369: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of
370: your ROM.
371:

373: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>

379: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
380: will most likely fail.
381:
382: <p>
383: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
384: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
385: INSTALL.sparc file.
386: </ul>
387:
388: <p>
389: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>

393: <p>
394: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
395: <i>CD3:3.7/sparc64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

397: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install

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

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