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

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

371: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
372: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

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

406: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
407: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
408:
409: <p>

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

424: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.8/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
425: </pre></ul>
426:
427: <p>
428: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
429: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.8/sparc/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy.
430: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
431: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
432: depending on the version of your ROM.
433:

441: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
442: will most likely fail.
443:
444: <p>
445: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
446: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
447: INSTALL.sparc file.

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

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

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