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

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

417: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
418: </pre></ul>
419:
420: <p>
421: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
422: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
423: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

430: The 4.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
431: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
432: your BIOS options first.
433: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
434: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
435: boot from the floppy drive.
436:
437: <p>
438: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
439: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

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