222: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
223: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
224: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

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

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

326: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
327:

334: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
335: <ul>
336: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
337: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
338: ROM.
339:
340: <ul><pre>
341: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

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

368:
369: <p>
370: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>

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

577: <p>
578: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
