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

339: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
340: <ul>
341: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
342: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
343: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
344: <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppy46.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
345:
346: <p>
347: Use <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppyB46.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
348: support, or <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppyC46.fs</i> for better laptop support.
349:
350: <p>
351: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
352: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
353: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
354:
355: <p>
356: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
357: read INSTALL.i386.
358:
359: <p>
360: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
361: at <i>CD1:4.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
362: use the
363: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
364: utility. The following is an example usage of
365: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
366: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
367: "rfd0a".

370: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
371: </pre></ul>
372:
373: <p>
374: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
375: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
376: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

383: The 4.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
384: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
385: your BIOS options first.
386: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
387: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.6/amd64/floppy46.fs</i> to a floppy, then
388: boot from the floppy drive.
389:
390: <p>
