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

346:
347: <p>
348: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
349: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
350: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

357: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
358: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
359: your BIOS options first.
360: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
361: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
362: boot from the floppy drive.
363:
364: <p>
365: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
366: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
367: INSTALL.amd64 document.

388: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
389: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
390: ROM.
391:
392: <ul><pre>
393: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

399: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
400: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
401: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
402: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
403: depending on the version of your ROM.
404:
405: <ul><pre>
406: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
407: or
