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

339: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
340: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
341: your BIOS options first.
342: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
343: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
344: boot from the floppy drive.
345:
346: <p>
347: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
348: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
349: INSTALL.amd64 document.
350:
351: <p>
352: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
353: read INSTALL.amd64.

360: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
361:

368: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
369: <ul>
370: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
371: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
372: ROM.
373:
374: <ul><pre>
375: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

378: </pre></ul>
379:
380: <p>
381: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
382: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
383: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
384: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
385: depending on the version of your ROM.

395: will most likely fail.
396:
397: <p>
398: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either

612: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
613: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

615: <p>
616: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

618: <p>
619: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
