373: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

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

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

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

462:
463: <p>
464: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
465: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.0/sparc/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy.
466: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
