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

408:
409: <p>
410: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
411: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
412: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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