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

375: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
376: </pre></ul>
377:
378: <p>
379: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
380: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
381: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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

434:

436: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
437: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.8/sparc/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy.
438: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

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