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

371: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
372: <ul>
373: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
374: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
375: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
376: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
377:
378: <p>
379: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
380: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
381:
382: <p>
383: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
384: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
385: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
386:
387: <p>
388: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
389: read INSTALL.i386.
390:
391: <p>
392: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
393: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
394: use the
395: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
396: utility. The following is an example usage of
397: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
398: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
399: "rfd0a".

402: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
403: </pre></ul>
404:
405: <p>
406: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
407: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
408: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
409: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

415: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
416: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
417: your BIOS options first.
418: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
419: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
420: boot from the floppy drive.
421:
422: <p>
423: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
424: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

457: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
458: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
459: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
