566: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

572: <ul>
573: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
574: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
575: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
576: <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
577:
578: <p>
579: Use <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyB47.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
580: support, or <i>CD1:4.7/i386/floppyC47.fs</i> for better laptop support.
581:
582: <p>
583: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
584: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
585: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
586:
587: <p>
588: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
589: read INSTALL.i386.
590:
591: <p>
592: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
593: at <i>CD1:4.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
594: use the
595: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
596: utility. The following is an example usage of
597: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
598: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

615: The 4.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
616: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
617: your BIOS options first.
618: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
619: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.7/amd64/floppy47.fs</i> to a floppy, then
620: boot from the floppy drive.
621:
622: <p>

896: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
