1.8 espie 217: old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly
218: purges from memory info about packages it cannot build and stuff that
219: depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
220: small data-size limits.

340: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

343: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
344: <ul>
345: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
346: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
347: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
348: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
349:
350: <p>
351: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
352: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
353:
354: <p>
355: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
356: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
357: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
358:
359: <p>
360: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
361: read INSTALL.i386.
362:
363: <p>
364: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
365: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
366: use the
367: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
368: utility. The following is an example usage of
369: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
370: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

374: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

376:
377: <p>
378: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
379: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
380: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

387: The 5.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
388: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
389: your BIOS options first.
390: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
391: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
392: boot from the floppy drive.
393:
