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

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

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

379: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
380: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
