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

335: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
336: </pre></ul>
337:
338: <p>
339: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
340: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
341: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
342: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

348: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
349: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
350: your BIOS options first.
351: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
352: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
353: boot from the floppy drive.
354:
355: <p>
356: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
357: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
