291: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

293:
294: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
295: <ul>
296: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
297: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
298: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
299: <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
300:
301: <p>
302: Use <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyB38.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
303: support, or <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyC38.fs</i> for better laptop support.
304:
305: <p>
306: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
307: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
308: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
309:
310: <p>
311: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
312: read INSTALL.i386.
313:
314: <p>
315: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
316: at <i>CD1:3.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
317: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
318: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
319: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
320: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

324: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

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

343: The 3.8 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
344: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
345: your BIOS options first.
346: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
347: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.8/amd64/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy, then
348: boot from the floppy drive.
349:
350: <p>
351: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

383:
384: <p>
385: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
386: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.8/sparc/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy.
387: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
388: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

402: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
403: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the

413: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
414: <i>CD3:3.8/sparc64/floppy38.fs</i> or <i>CD3:3.8/sparc64/floppyB38.fs</i>

604: <p>
605: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
