292: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
293: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
294: <p>
295:
296: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
297: <ul>
298: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
299: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
300: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
301: <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
302:
303: <p>
304: Use <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyB38.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
305: support, or <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyC38.fs</i> for better laptop support.
306:
307: <p>
308: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
309: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
310: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
311:
312: <p>
313: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
314: read INSTALL.i386.
315:
316: <p>
317: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
318: at <i>CD1:3.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
319: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
320: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
321: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
322: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
323: "rfd0a".

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

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

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

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

404: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
405: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
406: INSTALL.sparc file.

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

604: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

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

610: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
