288: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
289: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
290: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
291: <p>
292:
293: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
294: <ul>
295: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
296: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
297: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
298: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
299:
300: <p>
301: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
302: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
303:
304: <p>
305: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
306: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
307: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
308:
309: <p>
310: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
311: read INSTALL.i386.
312:
313: <p>
314: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
315: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
316: use the
317: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
318: utility. The following is an example usage of
319: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
320: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
321: "rfd0a".
322:
323: <ul><pre>
324: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
325: </pre></ul>
326:
327: <p>
328: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
329: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
330: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
331: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

335: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/amd64:</font></h3>
336: <ul>
337: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
338: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
339: your BIOS options first.
340: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.

617: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
