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

1.1 deraadt 386: <p>
387: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
388: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
389: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

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

1.1 deraadt 425:
426: <p>
427: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
428: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
429: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

1.1 deraadt 433:
434: <p>
435: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
436: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
437: your BIOS options first.
438: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
439: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
440: boot from the floppy drive.
441:
442: <p>
443: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
444: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
445: INSTALL.amd64 document.
446:
447: <p>
448: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
449: read INSTALL.amd64.

1.1 deraadt 462:
463: <p>
464: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
465: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
466: ROM.
467:
1.111 bentley 468: <blockquote><pre>

1.1 deraadt 473:
474: <p>
475: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
476: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
1.106 tj 477: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.1 deraadt 478: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

503: <i>CD3:4.1/sparc64/floppy41.fs</i> or <i>CD3:4.1/sparc64/floppyB41.fs</i>
504: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
