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

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

668: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
669: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
670: your BIOS options first.
671: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
672: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
673: boot from the floppy drive.
674:
