330: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
331: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
332: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
333: <p>
334:
335: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
336: <ul>
337: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
338: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
339: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
340: <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
341:
342: <p>
343: Use <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyB38.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
344: support, or <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyC38.fs</i> for better laptop support.
345:
346: <p>
347: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
348: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
349: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
350:
351: <p>
352: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
353: read INSTALL.i386.
354:
355: <p>
356: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
357: at <i>CD1:3.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
358: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
359: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
360: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
361: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

367:
368: <p>
369: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
370: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

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

405: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
406:

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

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

440: will most likely fail.
441:

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