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

! 328:
1.1 miod 329: <p>
330: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
331: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
332: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
333: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
334:
335: <p>
336: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
337: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
338:
339: <p>
340: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
341: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
342: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
343:
344: <p>
345: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
346: read INSTALL.i386.
347:
348: <p>
349: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
350: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.44 steven 351: use the
1.68 ! bentley 352: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.44 steven 353: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.68 ! bentley 354: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 miod 355: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

374: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
375: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
376: boot from the floppy drive.
