255: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
256: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
257: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
258: <p>
259:
260: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
261: <ul>
262: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
263: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
264: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
265: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
266:
267: <p>
268: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
269: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
270:
271: <p>
272: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
273: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
274: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
275:
276: <p>
277: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
278: read INSTALL.i386.
279:
280: <p>
281: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
282: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
283: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
284: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
285: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
286: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
287: "rfd0a".
288:
289: <ul><pre>
290: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
291: </pre></ul>
292:
293: <p>
294: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
295: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
296: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
297: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

302: <ul>
303: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
304: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
305: your BIOS options first.
306: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
307: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
308: boot from the floppy drive.
309:
310: <p>
311: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
312: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
313: INSTALL.amd64 document.
314:
315: <p>
316: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

324: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
325:

333: <ul>
334: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
335: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
336: ROM.
337:
338: <ul><pre>
339: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

342: </pre></ul>
343:
344: <p>
345: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
346: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
347: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
348: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
349: depending on the version of your ROM.
350:
351: <ul><pre>
352: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
353: or
354: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
355: </pre></ul>
356:
357: <p>
358: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
359: will most likely fail.
360:
361: <p>
362: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
363: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
364: INSTALL.sparc file.
365: </ul>
366:
367: <p>
368: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>

370: Put CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
371:
372: <p>
373: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
374: <i>CD3:3.9/sparc64/floppy39.fs</i> or <i>CD3:3.9/sparc64/floppyB39.fs</i>
375: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

573: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
