345: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
346: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
347: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
348: <p>
349:
350: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
351: <ul>
352: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
353: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
354: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
355: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
356:
357: <p>
358: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
359: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
360:
361: <p>
362: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
363: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
364: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
365:
366: <p>
367: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
368: read INSTALL.i386.
369:
370: <p>
371: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
372: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
373: use the
374: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
375: utility. The following is an example usage of
376: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
377: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
378: "rfd0a".
379:

381: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
382: </pre></ul>
383:
384: <p>
385: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
386: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
387: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
388: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

394: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
395: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
396: your BIOS options first.
397: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
398: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
399: boot from the floppy drive.
400:
401: <p>
402: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
403: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
404: INSTALL.amd64 document.

428:
429: <ul><pre>
430: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.0/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

433: </pre></ul>
434:
435: <p>
436: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
437: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
438: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
439: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
