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

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

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

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

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

479: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
480: will most likely fail.
481:
482: <p>
483: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
484: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
485: INSTALL.sparc file.

493: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
494: <i>CD3:3.7/sparc64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
495: floppy</i>.<br>
496: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
497: will most likely fail.
498:
499: <p>
