1.54 deraadt 19: <h3><font color=#0000e0>Installation with Other Operating Systems:</font></h3>
1.46 deraadt 20: The OpenBSD/i386 port can be installed to share the system disks with
1.130 aaron 21: other operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows or Linux using the MS-DOS
1.32 grr 22: MBR/partition scheme and an optional boot selector. Everyday operation is
23: trouble free, but setup requires care and Windows '95 installation is known
24: to be careless about pre-existing MBR/partition information.
25: See the Installation Notes for more details.

1.54 deraadt 28: <h3><font color=#0000e0>Binary compatibility with other Operating Systems:</font></h3>
1.46 deraadt 29: The OpenBSD/i386 port can run Linux, FreeBSD, BSD/OS,
1.44 deraadt 30: SVR4 (including Solaris), and IBCS2 binaries.

1.54 deraadt 33: <h3><font color=#0000e0>Supported Hardware:</font></h3>
1.46 deraadt 34: The OpenBSD/i386 port works across a broad range of standard PC's and clones,
1.32 grr 35: with a wide variety of processors and I/O bus architecures. It can be expected
1.53 todd 36: to install and run with minimal difficulty on most current products.
1.32 grr 37: The cases where problems may be encountered are typically older proprietary
38: PC's, Laptops or specialized server boxes that rely on a custom BIOS to paper
39: over implementation differences.
1.34 johns 40:
1.32 grr 41: <p>
1.117 deraadt 42: OpenBSD does not currently support multiple processors (SMP), but will run
43: using one processor on a multi-processor system board.
1.34 johns 44:
1.31 deraadt 45: <p>
1.117 deraadt 46: Most laptops are supported. We have <a href=i386-laptop.html>a page</a>
