376: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
377: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
378: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

380:
381: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
382: <ul>
383: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
384: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
385: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
386: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
387:
388: <p>
389: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
390: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
391:
392: <p>
393: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
394: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
395: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
396:
397: <p>
398: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
399: read INSTALL.i386.
400:
401: <p>
402: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
403: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
404: use the
405: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
406: utility. The following is an example usage of
407: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
408: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
409: "rfd0a".

412: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
413: </pre></ul>
414:
415: <p>
416: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
417: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
418: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
419: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

424: <ul>
425: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
426: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
427: your BIOS options first.
428: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
429: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
430: boot from the floppy drive.
431:
432: <p>
433: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
434: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
435: INSTALL.amd64 document.

460: <ul><pre>
461: ok <strong>boot cdrom 4.1/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

465:
466: <p>
467: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
468: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:4.1/sparc/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy.
469: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
470: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
