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

! 353:
1.1 deraadt 354: <p>
355: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
356: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
357: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
358: <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppy46.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
359:
360: <p>
361: Use <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppyB46.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
362: support, or <i>CD1:4.6/i386/floppyC46.fs</i> for better laptop support.
363:
364: <p>
365: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
366: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
367: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
368:
369: <p>
370: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
371: read INSTALL.i386.
372:
373: <p>
374: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
375: at <i>CD1:4.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
376: use the
1.38 ! bentley 377: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 378: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.38 ! bentley 379: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 380: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

396: The 4.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
397: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
398: your BIOS options first.
399: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
400: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.6/amd64/floppy46.fs</i> to a floppy, then
401: boot from the floppy drive.
402:
403: <p>
404: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
405: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
406: INSTALL.amd64 document.
407:
408: <p>
