340: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
341: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
342: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

345: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
346: <ul>
347: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
348: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
349: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
350: <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
351:
352: <p>
353: Use <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyB45.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
354: support, or <i>CD1:4.5/i386/floppyC45.fs</i> for better laptop support.
355:
356: <p>
357: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
358: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
359: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
360:
361: <p>
362: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
363: read INSTALL.i386.
364:
365: <p>
366: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
367: at <i>CD1:4.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
368: use the
369: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
370: utility. The following is an example usage of
371: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
372: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
373: "rfd0a".
374:

376: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
377: </pre></ul>
378:
379: <p>
380: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
381: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
382: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

389: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
390: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
391: your BIOS options first.
392: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
393: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
394: boot from the floppy drive.
395:
