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

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

325: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
326: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
327: your BIOS options first.
328: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
329: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
330: boot from the floppy drive.
331:
332: <p>
