316: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
317: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
318: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

322: <ul>
323: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
324: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
325: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
326: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
327:
328: <p>
329: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
330: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
331:
332: <p>
333: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
334: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
335: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
336:
337: <p>
338: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
339: read INSTALL.i386.
340:
341: <p>
342: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
343: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
344: use the
1.11 sthen 345: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 346: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.11 sthen 347: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 sthen 348: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
349: "rfd0a".

352: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
353: </pre></ul>
354:
355: <p>
356: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
357: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
358: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

365: The 5.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
366: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
367: your BIOS options first.
368: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
369: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
370: boot from the floppy drive.
371:
