329: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
330: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
331: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
332: <p>
333:
334: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
335: <ul>
336: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
337: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
338: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
339: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
340:
341: <p>
342: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
343: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
344:
345: <p>
346: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
347: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
348: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
349:
350: <p>
351: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
352: read INSTALL.i386.
353:
354: <p>
355: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
356: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
357: use the
358: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
359: utility. The following is an example usage of
360: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
361: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
362: "rfd0a".
363:
364: <ul><pre>
365: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
366: </pre></ul>
367:
368: <p>
369: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
370: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
371: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
372: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

377: <ul>
378: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
379: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
380: your BIOS options first.
381: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
382: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
383: boot from the floppy drive.
384:
385: <p>
386: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
387: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
388: INSTALL.amd64 document.

409: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
410: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
411: ROM.
412:
413: <ul><pre>
414: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

417: </pre></ul>
418:
419: <p>
420: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
421: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
422: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
423: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
