266: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
267: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
268: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
269: <p>
270:
271: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
272: <ul>
273: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
274: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
275: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
276: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
277:
278: <p>
279: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
280: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
281:
282: <p>
283: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
284: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
285: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
286:
287: <p>
288: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
289: read INSTALL.i386.
290:
291: <p>
292: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
293: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
294: use the
295: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
296: utility. The following is an example usage of
297: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
298: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
299: "rfd0a".

304:
305: <p>
306: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
307: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
308: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

315: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
316: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
317: your BIOS options first.
318: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
319: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
320: boot from the floppy drive.
321:
322: <p>
323: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
324: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
325: INSTALL.amd64 document.

354: </pre></ul>
355:
356: <p>
357: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
358: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
359: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
360: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

592: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
593: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

595: <p>
596: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
597: packages for the 4.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
598: <p>
599: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
600: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
