310: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
311: <ul>
312: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
313: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
314: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
315: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
316:
317: <p>
318: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
319: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
320:
321: <p>
322: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
323: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
324: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
325:
326: <p>
327: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
328: read INSTALL.i386.
329:
330: <p>
331: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
332: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
333: use the
1.11 sthen 334: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 335: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.11 sthen 336: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 sthen 337: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
338: "rfd0a".
339:

341: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
342: </pre></ul>
343:
344: <p>
345: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
346: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
347: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

354: The 5.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
355: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
356: your BIOS options first.
357: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
358: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
359: boot from the floppy drive.
360:

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