398: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
399: <p>
400:
401: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
402: <ul>
403: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
404: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
405: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
406: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
407:
408: <p>
409: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
410: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
411:
412: <p>
413: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
414: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
415: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
416:
417: <p>
418: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
419: read INSTALL.i386.
420:
421: <p>
422: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
423: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
424: use the
425: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
426: utility. The following is an example usage of
427: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
428: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

432: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
433: </pre></ul>
434:
435: <p>
436: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
437: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
438: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

445: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
446: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
447: your BIOS options first.
448: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
449: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
450: boot from the floppy drive.
451:
452: <p>
453: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
454: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

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