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

341:
342: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
343: <ul>
344: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
345: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
346: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
347: <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
348:
349: <p>
350: Use <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyB38.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
351: support, or <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyC38.fs</i> for better laptop support.
352:
353: <p>
354: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
355: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
356: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
357:
358: <p>
359: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
360: read INSTALL.i386.
361:
362: <p>
363: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
364: at <i>CD1:3.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
365: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
366: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
367: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
368: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

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

390: <ul>
391: The 3.8 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
392: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
393: your BIOS options first.
394: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
395: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.8/amd64/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy, then
396: boot from the floppy drive.
397:
398: <p>
399: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
400: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
401: INSTALL.amd64 document.
402:
403: <p>
404: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
405: read INSTALL.amd64.

411: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
412: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
413:
414: <p>

420: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
421: <ul>
422: The 3.8 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
423: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
424: ROM.
425:
426: <ul><pre>
427: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.8/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

429: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.8/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
430: </pre></ul>
431:
432: <p>
433: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
434: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.8/sparc/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy.
435: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
436: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
437: depending on the version of your ROM.

446: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
447: will most likely fail.
448:
449: <p>
450: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
451: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
452: INSTALL.sparc file.

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