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

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

327: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
328: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
329: your BIOS options first.
330: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
331: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
332: boot from the floppy drive.
333:
