Re: Is there a method to boot from floopy after booting from CD?
Thanks everybady for answering my stupid question.Seems like the cause wasn't DVD drive.I'm afraid of that I said stupid things. I haven't found informations of somebady who installs OpenBSD on this VAIO.However I found some informations of installed Linux on this VAIO in some websites.there say instalation will stop without disable pci. Some of them also disable usb by the command below. linux ide2=0x180,0x386 pci=off linux ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66 ide2=0x180,0x386 nousb Does OpenBSD also have commands like these? > I would suggest trying a -current snapshot, it's quite possible that your > machine is supported better there.

Maybe 4.8 is going to be much better??

This doesn't matter, by the time the kernel has loaded you don't need the CD any more (providing you have a usable network interface over which you can download the installation files).

Then just follow the information on that page. When the setup asks you where the remaining files are, you have to choose ftp or http, since the CD won't be accessible. kind regards, Robert
Is there a method to boot from floopy after booting from CD?
Hello, My name is Topaz. Nice to meet everybady. I'm a windows user now.And Installing OpenBSD is First time. I bought Sony Vaio PCG-U1 about 5 or 6years ago. on this laptop, Windows XP is running.But It's very heavy for this laptop.So I was looking for a lighter OS. I was interested in Linux.But I found OpenBSD while I was serching a OS that I should change from Windows. I got very interested in the belief of OpenBSD.So I decided installing OpenBSD. Even though I met a trouble in front of instalation.I tried 3 CDs cd47.iso , cdemu47.iso And install47.iso.But all of them show the same result.First I can boot every instalation CD.And then The display shows "boot>" . After that, many characters appear.Unless instalation won't continue after the messages below appears. isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 My laptop can be booted by ONLY IEEE1394 connected DVD drive.So I guess the drive isn't supported by OpenBSD.That's why istallation won't continue from the middle.So I'd like to know ways to boot from floppy disk drive or something like that. Maybe It's possible by typing something when "boot >" is shown?
