317: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
318: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
319: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

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

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

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