275: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
276: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
277: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
278: <p>
279:
280: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
281: <ul>
282: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
283: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
284: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
285: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
286:
287: <p>
288: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
289: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
290:
291: <p>
292: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
293: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
294: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
295:
296: <p>
297: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
298: read INSTALL.i386.
299:
300: <p>
301: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
302: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
303: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
304: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
305: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
306: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
307: "rfd0a".
308:
309: <ul><pre>
310: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
311: </pre></ul>
312:
313: <p>
314: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
315: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
316: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
317: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

322: <ul>
323: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
324: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
325: your BIOS options first.
326: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
327: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
328: boot from the floppy drive.
329:
330: <p>
331: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
332: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
333: INSTALL.amd64 document.
334:
335: <p>
336: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

354: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
355: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
356: ROM.
357:
358: <ul><pre>
359: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

362: </pre></ul>
363:
364: <p>
365: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
366: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
367: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
