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

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

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

391: The 4.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
392: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
393: your BIOS options first.
394: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
395: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.5/amd64/floppy45.fs</i> to a floppy, then
396: boot from the floppy drive.
397:
