330: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
331: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
332: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
333: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
334: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
335: purchased a CDROM instead.

1.1 deraadt 387: <p>
388: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
389: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
390: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.111 bentley 391:
392: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
393:
1.1 deraadt 394: <p>
395: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
396: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
397: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
398: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
399:
400: <p>
401: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
402: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
403:
404: <p>
405: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
406: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
407: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
408:
409: <p>
410: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
411: read INSTALL.i386.
412:
413: <p>
414: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
415: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
416: use the
1.111 bentley 417: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 418: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.111 bentley 419: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 420: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
421: "rfd0a".

1.1 deraadt 426:
427: <p>
428: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
429: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
430: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

1.1 deraadt 434:
435: <p>
436: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
437: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
438: your BIOS options first.
439: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
440: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
441: boot from the floppy drive.
442:
443: <p>
444: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
445: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
446: INSTALL.amd64 document.
447:
448: <p>
449: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
450: read INSTALL.amd64.

1.1 deraadt 463:
464: <p>
465: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
466: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
467: ROM.
468:
1.111 bentley 469: <blockquote><pre>

1.1 deraadt 474:
475: <p>
476: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
477: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
1.106 tj 478: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.1 deraadt 479: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
