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

! 126:
! 127: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 128: <ul>
! 129: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 130: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 131: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 132: <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 133:
! 134: <p>
! 135: Use <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyB50.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 136: support, or <i>CD1:5.0/i386/floppyC50.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 137:
! 138: <p>
! 139: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 140: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 141: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 142:
! 143: <p>
! 144: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 145: read INSTALL.i386.
! 146:
! 147: <p>
! 148: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 149: at <i>CD1:5.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 150: use the
! 151: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 152: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 153: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 154: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
! 155: "rfd0a".
! 156:
! 157: <ul><pre>
! 158: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
! 159: </pre></ul>
! 160:
! 161: <p>
! 162: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
! 163: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
! 164: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
! 165: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

! 171: The 5.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
! 172: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
! 173: your BIOS options first.
! 174: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 175: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.0/amd64/floppy50.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 176: boot from the floppy drive.
! 177:
! 178: <p>
! 179: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 180: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
