279: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
280: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
281: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
282: <p>
283:
284: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
285: <ul>
286: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
287: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
288: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
289: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
290:
291: <p>
292: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
293: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
294:
295: <p>
296: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
297: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
298: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
299:
300: <p>
301: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
302: read INSTALL.i386.
303:
304: <p>
305: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
306: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
307: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
308: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
309: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
310: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
311: "rfd0a".

314: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
315: </pre></ul>
316:
317: <p>
318: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
319: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
320: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
321: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

332: <ul>
333: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
334: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
335: your BIOS options first.
336: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
337: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
338: boot from the floppy drive.
339:
340: <p>
341: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
342: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
343: INSTALL.amd64 document.

351: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>

354: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
355:

362: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
363: <ul>
364: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
365: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
366: ROM.
367:
368: <ul><pre>
369: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

371: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.7/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
372: </pre></ul>
373:
374: <p>
375: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
376: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
377: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from
378: the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of
379: your ROM.
380:
381: <ul><pre>
382: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
383: or
384: > <strong>b fd()</strong>

386:
387: <p>
388: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
389: will most likely fail.
390:
391: <p>
392: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
393: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
394: INSTALL.sparc file.
