243: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
244: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
245: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
246: <p>
247:
248: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
249: <ul>
250: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
251: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
252: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
253: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
254:
255: <p>
256: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
257: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
258:
259: <p>
260: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
261: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
262: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
263:
264: <p>
265: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
266: read INSTALL.i386.
267:
268: <p>
269: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
270: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
271: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
272: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
273: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
274: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
275: "rfd0a".

278: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
279: </pre></ul>
280:
281: <p>
282: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
283: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
284: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
285: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

290: <ul>
291: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
292: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
293: your BIOS options first.
294: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
295: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
296: boot from the floppy drive.
297:
298: <p>
299: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
300: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
301: INSTALL.amd64 document.

322: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
323: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
324: ROM.
325:
326: <ul><pre>
327: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

330: </pre></ul>
331:
332: <p>
333: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
334: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
335: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
336: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

557: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
558: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

560: <p>
561: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

563: <p>
564: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
565: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
