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

! 285:
! 286: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
! 287: <ul>
! 288: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
! 289: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
! 290: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
! 291: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
! 292:
! 293: <p>
! 294: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
! 295: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
! 296:
! 297: <p>
! 298: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
! 299: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
! 300: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
! 301:
! 302: <p>
! 303: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
! 304: read INSTALL.i386.
! 305:
! 306: <p>
! 307: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
! 308: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
! 309: use the
! 310: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
! 311: utility. The following is an example usage of
! 312: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
! 313: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

! 319:

! 321: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

! 323: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

! 332: your BIOS options first.
! 333: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
! 334: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
! 335: boot from the floppy drive.
! 336:

! 617: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here

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