316: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
317: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

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

354: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
355: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
356: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

371: your BIOS options first.
372: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
373: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.8/amd64/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy, then
374: boot from the floppy drive.
375:

411: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
412: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.8/sparc/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy.
413: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
414: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
415: depending on the version of your ROM.
416:
417: <ul><pre>
418: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
419: or

428: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either

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