322: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
323: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
324: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

326:
327: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
328: <ul>
329: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
330: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
331: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
332: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
333:
334: <p>
335: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
336: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
337:
338: <p>
339: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
340: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
341: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
342:
343: <p>
344: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
345: read INSTALL.i386.
346:
347: <p>
348: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
349: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
350: use the
351: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
352: utility. The following is an example usage of
353: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
354: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
355: "rfd0a".

358: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
359: </pre></ul>
360:
361: <p>
362: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
363: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
364: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

371: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
372: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
373: your BIOS options first.
374: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
375: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
376: boot from the floppy drive.
377:
378: <p>
379: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
380: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
381: INSTALL.amd64 document.
382:
383: <p>
384: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
385: read INSTALL.amd64.

402: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
403: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
404: ROM.
405:
406: <ul><pre>
407: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

411:
412: <p>
413: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
414: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
415: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
416: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
417: depending on the version of your ROM.
