327: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
328: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
329: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
330: <p>
331:
332: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
333: <ul>
334: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
335: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
336: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
337: <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppy42.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
338:
339: <p>
340: Use <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppyB42.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
341: support, or <i>CD1:4.2/i386/floppyC42.fs</i> for better laptop support.
342:
343: <p>
344: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
345: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
346: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
347:
348: <p>
349: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
350: read INSTALL.i386.
351:
352: <p>
353: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
354: at <i>CD1:4.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
355: use the
356: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
357: utility. The following is an example usage of
358: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
359: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
360: "rfd0a".

363: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
364: </pre></ul>
365:
366: <p>
367: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
368: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

376: The 4.2 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
377: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
378: your BIOS options first.
379: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
380: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.2/amd64/floppy42.fs</i> to a floppy, then
381: boot from the floppy drive.
382:

384: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
385: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
386: INSTALL.amd64 document.
