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

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

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

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

413:
414: <p>
415: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
416: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
417: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
418: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
419: depending on the version of your ROM.
420:
421: <ul><pre>
422: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
423: or

429: will most likely fail.
430:
