374: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
375: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
376: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
377: <p>
378:
379: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
380: <ul>
381: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
382: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
383: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
384: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
385:
386: <p>
387: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
388: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
389:
390: <p>
391: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
392: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
393: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
394:
395: <p>
396: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
397: read INSTALL.i386.
398:
399: <p>
400: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
401: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
402: use the
403: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
404: utility. The following is an example usage of
405: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
406: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
407: "rfd0a".

410: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
411: </pre></ul>
412:
413: <p>
414: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
415: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
416: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
417: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

422: <ul>
423: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
424: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
425: your BIOS options first.
426: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
427: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
428: boot from the floppy drive.
429:
430: <p>
431: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
432: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

463:
464: <p>
465: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
466: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
467: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
