267: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
268: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
269: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
270: <p>
271:
272: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
273: <ul>
274: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
275: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
276: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
277: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
278:
279: <p>
280: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
281: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
282:
283: <p>
284: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
285: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
286: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
287:
288: <p>
289: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
290: read INSTALL.i386.
291:
292: <p>
293: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
294: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
295: use the
296: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
297: utility. The following is an example usage of
298: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
299: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
300: "rfd0a".

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

316: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
317: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
318: your BIOS options first.
319: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
320: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
321: boot from the floppy drive.
322:
323: <p>
