 <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>.

 The latest supported OpenBSD/i386 release is  
 <a href="32.html">OpenBSD 3.2</a>.  
 Here are the  
 <a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/i386/INSTALL.i386">  
 OpenBSD/i386 3.2 installation instructions

 Snapshots are made available from time to time, in

 There are several installation media provided:  
 <ul>  
   <li><strong>CD boot</strong>  
   <p>  
   Booting off the CD provides an <i>El Torito</i> 2.88MB floppy image  
   that contains almost all OpenBSD drivers.  
   This also includes minimal USB support (storage devices and keyboard).<br>  
   For the latest list of drivers available on this image, take a look at the  
   <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/RAMDISK_CD?rev=HEAD">RAMDISK_CD</a>  
   kernel configuration file.  
   </p></li>  
   <li><strong>Floppy A</strong> (floppy32.fs)  
   <p>  
   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.<br>

   <li><strong>Floppy B</strong> (floppyB32.fs)  
   <p>  
   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.<br>

   <li><strong>Floppy C</strong> (floppyC32.fs)  
   <p>  
   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.<br>
