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

651: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
652: </pre></ul>
653:
654: <p>
655: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
656: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
657: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

664: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
665: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
666: your BIOS options first.
667: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
668: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
669: boot from the floppy drive.
670:
