- OpenBSD/i386 can be installed to share the system disks with other operating - systems, such as MS-DOS, Windows or Linux, using the MBR/partition table - scheme, and an optional boot selector program. - Everyday operation is trouble free, but setup requires care, and several - operating systems, such as Windows 95, are known to be careless about - pre-existing MBR information. -
- -- Also, some laptop computers use a specific partition as suspend-to-disk - storage, which should not be clobbered. -
- -- More details on this process can be found in the - Installation Guide and - Disk Setup Manual. -
- -- Snapshots are made available from time to time, in - this location - as well as in a few - mirrors. - Here are the - - OpenBSD/i386 snapshot installation instructions - as well. -
- -- There are several installation media provided: -
- Booting off the CD provides an El Torito 2.88MB floppy image
- that contains almost all OpenBSD drivers.
- This also includes minimal USB support (storage devices and keyboard).
- For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
- RAMDISK_CD
- kernel configuration file.
-
- This 1.44MB floppy image contains the most common drivers.
- It is designed to cover the most typical PC. As a general rule, you will
- find that the missing drivers are ones which need large microcodes to run,
- such as for rare scsi cards, gigabit ethernet cards, or RAID devices.
- For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
- RAMDISK
- kernel configuration file.
-
- This 1.44MB floppy image contains some drivers that are missing from
- Floppy A.
- This media is designed to help people setting up modern server type systems.
- It contains support for pretty much all the SCSI and RAID drivers, gigabit
- ethernet cards, and such.
- Due to space considerations, you will find that some other drivers are
- missing. In particular, support for most PCMCIA devices is missing, as
- for really ancient hardware devices.
- For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
- RAMDISKB
- kernel configuration file.
-
- This 1.44MB floppy image contains many cardbus and PCMCIA device drivers.
- This media is designed for installing on laptops.
- In most cases, one would discover that Floppy A also works, but the odd
- laptop might benefit more from using this image.
- For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the
- RAMDISKC
- kernel configuration file.
