303: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
304: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
305: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
306: <p>
307:
308: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
309: <ul>
310: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
311: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
312: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
313: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
314:
315: <p>
316: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
317: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
318:
319: <p>
320: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
321: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
322: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
323:
324: <p>
325: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
326: read INSTALL.i386.
327:
328: <p>
329: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
330: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
331: use the
332: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
333: utility. The following is an example usage of
334: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
335: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
336: "rfd0a".

339: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
340: </pre></ul>
341:
342: <p>
343: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
344: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
345: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
346: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

352: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
353: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
354: your BIOS options first.
355: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
356: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
357: boot from the floppy drive.
358:
359: <p>
360: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
361: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

394: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
395: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
396: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
397: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
398: depending on the version of your ROM.
399:
400: <ul><pre>
401: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
402: or

407: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install

411: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
