<p>
<h3><font color=#0000e0>Installation with Other Operating Systems:</font></h3>
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.
<p>
<h3><font color=#0000e0>Install media</font></h3>
A number of install options exist:
<ul>
<li><strong>CD boot:</strong><p>
Booting off the CD provides an El Torito 2.88MB floppy image
that contains almost all OpenBSD drivers. This also includes minimal USB
support (umass and ukbd devices).<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> config file.<p>
<li><strong>Floppy A:</strong><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>
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?rev=HEAD">
RAMDISK</a> config file.<p>
<li><strong>Floppy B:</strong><p>
This 1.44MB floppy image contains the drivers that are missing on 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
are missing, as are really ancient hardware devices.<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/RAMDISKB?rev=HEAD">
RAMDISKB</a> config file.<p>
<li><strong>Floppy C:</strong><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>
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/RAMDISKC?rev=HEAD">
RAMDISKC</a> config file.<p>
</ul>
<p>
Use the method that works best for you.
<p>
<h3><font color=#0000e0>Binary compatibility with other Operating Systems:</font></h3>
The OpenBSD/i386 port can run Linux, FreeBSD, BSD/OS,
SVR4 (including Solaris), and IBCS2 binaries.
<p>
<h3><font color=#0000e0>Supported Hardware:</font></h3>
The OpenBSD/i386 port works across a broad range of standard PC's and clones,
with a wide variety of processors and I/O bus architectures. It can be expected
to install and run with minimal difficulty on most current products.
The cases where problems may be encountered are typically older proprietary
PC's, Laptops or specialized server boxes that rely on a custom BIOS to paper
over implementation differences.
<p>
OpenBSD does not currently support multiple processors (SMP), but will run
using one processor on a multi-processor system board.
<p>
Most laptops are supported. We have <a href=i386-laptop.html>a page</a>
that details the specifics of most common laptops.
<p>
The list of supported hardware is relevant to OpenBSD-current. It will
differ slightly from the support provided in the latest release version.
<p>
<hr>
<b>Processors</b><p>
All CPU chips compatible with the Intel 80386 (i386) architecture:
<ul>
<li>386/486 (SX/DX/DX2/DX4)
<li>Intel Pentium/Pentium-MMX
<li>Intel Pentium Pro/II/III/Celeron/Xeon
<li>Intel Pentium IV
<li>AMD 6x86
<li>AMD K5/K6/K6-2/K6-3
<li>AMD Athlon/Duron
<li>Cyrix MediaGX/M1/M2

<li>Rise mP6
<li>IDT WinChip
<li>NexGen 586
<li>Transmeta TMS3200, TMS5400, TMS5600
</ul>
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.
<p>

<ul>
<li>Intel 450GX/KX based machines.
<li>Intel 450NX based machines.
<li>ServerWorks chipset-based machines.
</ul>
(We just had to mention those last three, since they are the hardest to support).
<br>
<li> Both 16-Bit PCMCIA PC Cards and newer 32-Bit CardBus support.
<li> Universal Serial Bus (USB).
</ul>
The MCA bus found in various official IBM PCs is not supported.
<p>
<b>Bus interfaces</b><p>

</ul>
<p>
<b>Disk Controllers</b><p>
<ul>
<li> Floppy controllers
<li> ISA MFM, ESDI, IDE, and RLL hard disk controllers

If a device does not work, be sure to mail the output of dmesg(1)
to dmesg@openbsd.org, and we will try to add support.

<b>ISAPNP Cards</b><p>
Roughly said, the following cards definitely work.
Others may work as well; support is continually being improved.

<sup>(1)</sup> Drivers for hardware marked with (1) are NOT included on the
distribution floppies.

<sup>(2)</sup> Support for devices marked with (2) IS included in the
"generic" kernels, although it is not in the kernel on the installation floppy.

<P>Unsupported hardware may be supported in the future, your <A HREF="donations.html">

of time, hardware, or documentation</a> can accelerate this support!
<ul>
<li>The "Micro Channel" MCA bus used in many IBM PS/2 models
<li>NCR 5380-based and 53400-based SCSI host adapters
<li>QIC-40 and QIC-80 tape drives
(these are the tape drives that connect to the floppy disk controller)
<li>Multiprocessor motherboards (though they will run fine using one
processor only).
There exists a <a href=smp.html>project</a> aiming to support these.
<li>Sony and Panasonic proprietary CD-ROM interfaces
<li>Parallel-port ZIP drives (SCSI and ATAPI ZIP drives work fine)
<li>Intel i82556 (EtherExpress PRO/100A, Intel PRO/100 EISA and PRO/100
Smart) and i82596 (EtherExpress PRO/10 PCI) Ethernet adapters
(<a href=mailto:mickey@openbsd.org>mickey</a> is working on the later ones)

<li>Aureal Vortex sound cards

<li>Winmodems
<li>Infrared devices, such as commonly found on laptops
<li>Firewire
