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

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

407: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
408: </pre></ul>
409:
410: <p>
411: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
412: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
413: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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

464: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
