348: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
349: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
350: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
351: <p>

353: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
354: <ul>
355: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
356: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
357: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
358: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
359:
360: <p>
361: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
362: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
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
367: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
368:
369: <p>
370: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
371: read INSTALL.i386.
372:
373: <p>
374: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
375: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
376: use the
377: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
378: utility. The following is an example usage of
379: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
380: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
381: "rfd0a".
382:
383: <ul><pre>
384: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
385: </pre></ul>
386:
387: <p>
388: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
389: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
390: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
391: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

396: <ul>
397: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
398: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
399: your BIOS options first.
400: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
401: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
402: boot from the floppy drive.
403:
404: <p>
405: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
406: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
407: INSTALL.amd64 document.
408:

426: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
427: <ul>
428: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you
429: can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your
430: ROM.
431:
432: <ul><pre>
433: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

436: </pre></ul>
437:
438: <p>
439: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
440: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
441: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
442: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
443: depending on the version of your ROM.
