349: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
350: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
351: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
352: <p>
353:
354: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
355: <ul>
356: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
357: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
358: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
359: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
360:
361: <p>
362: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
363: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
364:
365: <p>
366: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
367: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
368: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
369:
370: <p>
371: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
372: read INSTALL.i386.
373:
374: <p>
375: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
376: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
377: use the
378: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
379: utility. The following is an example usage of
380: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
381: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
382: "rfd0a".
383:
384: <ul><pre>
385: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
386: </pre></ul>
387:
388: <p>
389: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
390: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
391: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
392: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

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

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

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