284: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

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

319:
320: <p>
321: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
322: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
323: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

337: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
338: your BIOS options first.
339: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
340: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
341: boot from the floppy drive.

378: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
379: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
1.39 tom 380: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
