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!

! 334: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
! 335:
1.1 deraadt 336: <p>
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,
1.59 ! bentley 358: use the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
! 359: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 360: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 361: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
362: "rfd0a".

368: <p>
369: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

381: <p>
382: The 3.8 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
383: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
384: your BIOS options first.
385: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
