368: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
369: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
370: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
371: <p>
372:
373: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
374: <ul>
375: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
376: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
377: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
378: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
379:
380: <p>
381: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
382: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
383:
384: <p>
385: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
386: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
387: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
388:
389: <p>
390: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
391: read INSTALL.i386.
392:
393: <p>
394: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
395: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
396: use the
1.104 ! sthen 397: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 398: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.104 ! sthen 399: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 400: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

406:
407: <p>
408: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
409: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
410: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

417: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
418: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
419: your BIOS options first.
420: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
421: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
422: boot from the floppy drive.
423:
424: <p>
425: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
426: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

459: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
460: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
461: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
