301: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
302: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
303: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
304: <p>
305:
306: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
307: <ul>
308: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
309: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
310: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
311: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
312:
313: <p>
314: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
315: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
316:
317: <p>
318: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
319: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
320: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
321:
322: <p>
323: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
324: read INSTALL.i386.
325:
326: <p>
327: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
328: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
329: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
330: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
331: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
332: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
333: "rfd0a".

336: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
337: </pre></ul>
338:
339: <p>
340: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
341: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
342: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
343: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

349: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
350: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
351: your BIOS options first.
352: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
353: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
354: boot from the floppy drive.
