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

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

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

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