326: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
327: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
328: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
329: <p>
330:
331: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
332: <ul>
333: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
334: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
335: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
336: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
337:
338: <p>
339: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
340: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
341:
342: <p>
343: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
344: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
345: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
346:
347: <p>
348: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
349: read INSTALL.i386.
350:
351: <p>
352: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
353: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
354: use the
355: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
356: utility. The following is an example usage of
357: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
358: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
359: "rfd0a".

362: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
363: </pre></ul>
364:
365: <p>
366: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
367: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
368: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
369: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

374: <ul>
375: The 4.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
376: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
377: your BIOS options first.
378: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
379: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
380: boot from the floppy drive.
381:
382: <p>
383: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
384: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
385: INSTALL.amd64 document.
386:

662: <p>
663: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
