240: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
241: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

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

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

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

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

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

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