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

353: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
354: </pre></ul>
355:
356: <p>
357: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
358: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
359: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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