380: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
381: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

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

420: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
421: <ul>
422: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
423: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
424: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
425: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
426:
427: <p>
428: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
429: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
430:
431: <p>
432: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
433: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
434: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
435:
436: <p>
437: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
438: read INSTALL.i386.
439:
440: <p>
441: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
442: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
443: use the
444: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
445: utility. The following is an example usage of
446: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
447: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
448: "rfd0a".

451: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
452: </pre></ul>
453:
454: <p>
455: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
456: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
457: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

467: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
468: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.8/amd64/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy, then

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

742: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

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

747: <p>
748: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
