314: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
315: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
316: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
317: <p>
318:
319: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
320: <ul>
321: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
322: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
323: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
324: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
325:
326: <p>
327: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
328: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
329:
330: <p>
331: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
332: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
333: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
334:
335: <p>
336: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
337: read INSTALL.i386.
338:
339: <p>
340: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
341: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
342: use the
343: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
344: utility. The following is an example usage of
345: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
346: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
347: "rfd0a".
348:
349: <ul><pre>
350: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
351: </pre></ul>
352:
353: <p>
354: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
355: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
356: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
357: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

366: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
367: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
368: boot from the floppy drive.
