258: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
259: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

292: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
293: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
294: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
295: <p>
296:
297: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
298: <ul>
299: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
300: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
301: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
302: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
303:
304: <p>
305: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
306: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
307:
308: <p>
309: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
310: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
311: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
312:
313: <p>
314: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
315: read INSTALL.i386.
316:
317: <p>
318: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
319: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
320: use the
321: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
322: utility. The following is an example usage of
323: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
324: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
325: "rfd0a".

328: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
329: </pre></ul>
330:
331: <p>
332: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
333: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
334: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
335: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

341: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
342: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
343: your BIOS options first.
344: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
345: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
346: boot from the floppy drive.
347:
348: <p>
349: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
350: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

611: <p>
612: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

614: <p>
615: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
616: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
