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

286: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

288:
289: <p>
290: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
291: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
292: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
293: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

298: <ul>
299: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
300: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
301: your BIOS options first.
302: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
303: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
304: boot from the floppy drive.
305:
306: <p>
307: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
308: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
309: INSTALL.amd64 document.

330: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
331: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
332: ROM.
333:
334: <ul><pre>
335: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

338: </pre></ul>
339:
340: <p>
341: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
342: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
343: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
344: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

354: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
355: will most likely fail.
356:
357: <p>
358: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
359: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
360: INSTALL.sparc file.

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

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

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