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

312:
313: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
314: <ul>
315: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
316: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
317: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
318: <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppy42.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
319:
320: <p>
321: Use <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppyB42.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
322: support, or <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppyC42.fs</i> for better laptop support.
323:
324: <p>
325: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
326: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
327: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
328:
329: <p>
330: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
331: read INSTALL.i386.
332:
333: <p>
334: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
335: at <i>CD1:4.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
336: use the
337: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
338: utility. The following is an example usage of
339: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
340: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

348: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
349: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
350: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

358: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
359: your BIOS options first.
360: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
361: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.2/amd64/floppy42.fs</i> to a floppy, then
362: boot from the floppy drive.
