313: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
314: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
315: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
316: <p>
317:
318: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
319: <ul>
320: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
321: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
322: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
323: <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
324:
325: <p>
326: Use <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyB38.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
327: support, or <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyC38.fs</i> for better laptop support.
328:
329: <p>
330: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
331: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
332: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
333:
334: <p>
335: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
336: read INSTALL.i386.
337:
338: <p>
339: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
340: at <i>CD1:3.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
341: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
342: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
343: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
344: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
345: "rfd0a".

348: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
349: </pre></ul>
350:
351: <p>
352: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
353: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
354: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
355: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

367: The 3.8 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
368: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
369: your BIOS options first.
370: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
371: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.8/amd64/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy, then
372: boot from the floppy drive.
373:
374: <p>
375: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
376: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
377: INSTALL.amd64 document.

396: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
397: <ul>
398: The 3.8 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
399: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
400: ROM.
401:
402: <ul><pre>
403: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.8/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
404: or
405: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.8/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
406: </pre></ul>
407:
408: <p>
409: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
410: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.8/sparc/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy.
411: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
412: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
413: depending on the version of your ROM.
414:
415: <ul><pre>
416: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
417: or
418: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
419: </pre></ul>

421: <p>
422: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
423: will most likely fail.
424:

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

629: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
