<h3><font color="#0000e0">Installation with Other Operating Systems:</font></h3>

<hr>

The OpenBSD/i386 port can be installed to share the system disks with

other operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows or Linux using the MS-DOS

MBR/partition scheme and an optional boot selector. Everyday operation is

trouble free, but setup requires care and Windows '95 installation is known

to be careless about pre-existing MBR/partition information.

See the <a href="faq/faq4.html">Installation Guide</a> and

<a href="faq/faq14.html">Disk Setup Manual</a> for more details.

<h3><font color="#0000e0">Install media</font></h3>

<p>

A number of install options exist:

OpenBSD/i386 runs on the standard PC's and clones, with a wide variety

of processors, I/O bus architectures and peripherals supported.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>

<p>

Use the method that works best for you.

The OpenBSD/i386 port has been present since the inception of the project.

Over the years, more and more hardware support has been written

specifically for OpenBSD (such as the cryptographic accelerator drivers),

or adapted from FreeBSD and NetBSD.

</p>

<h3><font color="#0000e0">Binary compatibility with other Operating Systems:</font></h3>

<hr>

The OpenBSD/i386 port can run Linux, FreeBSD, BSD/OS,

SVR4 (including Solaris), and IBCS2 binaries.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>

<h3><font color="#0000e0">Supported Hardware:</font></h3>

it will run on multi-processor system boards, using only one processor.

</p>

<p>

Through its binary compatibility layer, OpenBSD/i386 can run Linux, FreeBSD,

BSD/OS, SVR4 (including Solaris) and IBCS2 binaries, to some extent. Most

applications will work flawlessly.

</p>

<p>

X-Window support is available for most graphics cards, using either recent

XFree (as of OpenBSD 3.2, 4.2.1) servers whenever possible,

or XFree 3.3.6 servers otherwise.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Installation with other operating systems:

</strong></font></h3>

<p>

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.

</p>

<p>

Also, some laptop computers use a specific partition as suspend-to-disk

storage, which should not be clobbered.

</p>

<p>

More details on this process can be found in the

<a href="faq/faq4.html">Installation Guide</a> and

<a href="faq/faq14.html">Disk Setup Manual</a>.

<h4>Processors</h4>

</p>

<b>Processors</b><p>

<p>

All CPU chips compatible with the Intel 80386 (i386) architecture:

OpenBSD does not currently support multiple processors (SMP), but will run

using one processor on a multi-processor system board.

</p>

<p>

All CPU chips compatible with the Intel 80386 (i386) architecture are

supported:

<ul>

<li>386/486 (SX/DX/DX2/DX4)

<li>Intel Pentium/Pentium-MMX

</ul>

</p>

<p>

Regular floating-point coprocessors, when not built-in the processor,

are also supported. If no floating-point hardware is present in the system,

OpenBSD can use software emulation.

</p>

<p>

Everything that is a clone of the 386 or up should work fine.

The only CPU that is known to work poorly (due to flawed motherboard designs)

is the Cyrix 386DLC.
