291: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
292: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
293: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
294: <p>
295:
296: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
297: <ul>
298: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
299: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
300: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
301: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
302:
303: <p>
304: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
305: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
306:
307: <p>
308: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
309: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
310: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
311:
312: <p>
313: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
314: read INSTALL.i386.
315:
316: <p>
317: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
318: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
319: use the
320: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
321: utility. The following is an example usage of
322: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
323: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
324: "rfd0a".

329:
330: <p>
331: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
332: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
333: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

340: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
341: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
342: your BIOS options first.
343: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
344: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
345: boot from the floppy drive.
346:
347: <p>
348: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
349: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
