318: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
319: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
320: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

322:
323: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
324: <ul>
325: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
326: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
327: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
328: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
329:
330: <p>
331: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
332: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
333:
334: <p>
335: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
336: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
337: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
338:
339: <p>
340: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
341: read INSTALL.i386.
342:
343: <p>
344: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
345: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
346: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
347: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
348: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
349: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

365: <ul>
366: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
367: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
368: your BIOS options first.
369: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
370: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
371: boot from the floppy drive.
372:
373: <p>
374: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
375: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
376: INSTALL.amd64 document.
377:
378: <p>
379: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
380: read INSTALL.amd64.

384: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>

386: Put CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
387: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
388:

397: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
398: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
399: ROM.
400:
401: <ul><pre>
402: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

405: </pre></ul>
406:
407: <p>
408: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
409: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
410: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
411: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
