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

378: <ul>
379: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
380: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
381: your BIOS options first.
382: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
383: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
384: boot from the floppy drive.
385:
386: <p>
387: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
388: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
389: INSTALL.amd64 document.
390:
391: <p>
392: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
393: read INSTALL.amd64.

400: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
401:

410: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
411: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
412: ROM.
413:
414: <ul><pre>
415: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

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