373:
1.1 henning 374: <p>
375: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
376: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
377: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.86 bentley 378:
379: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
380:
1.1 henning 381: <p>
382: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
383: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
384: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
385: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
386:
387: <p>
1.49 jaredy 388: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 389: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
390:
391: <p>
392: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
393: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
394: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
395:
396: <p>
397: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
398: read INSTALL.i386.
399:
400: <p>
401: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
402: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.86 bentley 403: use the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
404: utility. The following is an example usage of
405: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.49 jaredy 406: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
1.1 henning 407: "rfd0a".

1.1 henning 412:
413: <p>
414: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
415: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
416: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
1.80 tj 417: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.

424: <h3>OpenBSD/amd64:</h3>
1.1 henning 425:
426: <p>
427: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
428: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
429: your BIOS options first.
430: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
431: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
432: boot from the floppy drive.
433:
434: <p>
435: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
436: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
437: INSTALL.amd64 document.
438:
439: <p>
440: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
441: read INSTALL.amd64.

1.1 henning 447: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
448:
449: <p>
450: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot

453: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>
1.1 henning 454:
455: <p>
456: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
457: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
458: ROM.
459:
1.86 bentley 460: <blockquote><pre>

464: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 henning 465:
466: <p>
467: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
468: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy.
1.80 tj 469: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.39 tom 470: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

477: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 henning 478:
479: <p>
480: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
481: will most likely fail.
482:
483: <p>
484: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
485: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
486: INSTALL.sparc file.
1.86 bentley 487:
488: <h3>OpenBSD/sparc64:</h3>
1.1 henning 489:

1.49 jaredy 491: Put CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
1.1 henning 492:
493: <p>
494: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
495: <i>CD3:3.7/sparc64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
496: floppy</i>.<br>
497: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
498: will most likely fail.
499:
500: <p>
501: You can also write <i>CD3:3.7/sparc64/miniroot37.fs</i> to the swap partition on
502: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
