393: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
394: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
395: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
396: <p>
397:
398: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
399: <ul>
400: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
401: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
402: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
403: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
404:
405: <p>
406: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
407: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
408:
409: <p>
410: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
411: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
412: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
413:
414: <p>
415: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
416: read INSTALL.i386.
417:
418: <p>
419: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
420: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
421: use the
422: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
423: utility. The following is an example usage of
424: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
425: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
426: "rfd0a".
427:

429: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
430: </pre></ul>
431:
432: <p>
433: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
434: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
435: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

446: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.8/amd64/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy, then

711: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree

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