367: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
368: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
369: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
370: <p>

372: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
373: <ul>
374: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
375: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
376: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
377: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
378:
379: <p>
380: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
381: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
382:
383: <p>
384: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
385: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
386: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
387:
388: <p>
389: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
390: read INSTALL.i386.
391:
392: <p>
393: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
394: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
395: use the
396: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
397: utility. The following is an example usage of
398: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
399: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
400: "rfd0a".

403: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
404: </pre></ul>
405:
406: <p>
407: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
408: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
409: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

416: The 5.2 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
417: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
418: your BIOS options first.
419: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
420: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
421: boot from the floppy drive.
422:
423: <p>
