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

326: </pre></ul>
327:
328: <p>
329: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
330: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
331: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

348: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
349: boot from the floppy drive.

387: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
