372: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
373: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
374: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

! 376: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
! 377:
1.1 henning 378: <p>
379: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
380: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
381: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
382: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
383:
384: <p>
1.49 jaredy 385: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 386: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
387:
388: <p>
389: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
390: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
391: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
392:
393: <p>
394: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
395: read INSTALL.i386.
396:
397: <p>
398: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
399: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.86 ! bentley 400: use the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
! 401: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 402: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.49 jaredy 403: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
1.1 henning 404: "rfd0a".

1.1 henning 409:
410: <p>
411: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
412: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
413: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

1.1 henning 422:
423: <p>
424: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
425: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
426: your BIOS options first.
427: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
428: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
429: boot from the floppy drive.
430:
431: <p>
432: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
433: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
434: INSTALL.amd64 document.
435:
436: <p>
437: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
438: read INSTALL.amd64.

454: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
455: ROM.
456:
1.86 ! bentley 457: <blockquote><pre>

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