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

617: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
618: <ul>
619: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
620: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
621: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
622: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
623:
624: <p>
625: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
626: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
627:
628: <p>
629: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
630: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
631: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
632:
633: <p>
634: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
635: read INSTALL.i386.
636:
637: <p>
638: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
639: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
640: use the
641: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
642: utility. The following is an example usage of
643: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
644: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
645: "rfd0a".

650:
651: <p>
652: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
653: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
654: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

661: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
662: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
663: your BIOS options first.
664: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
665: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
666: boot from the floppy drive.
667:
