Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could

be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect

floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.

If you experience any boot hangs on PCI devices, or any panic early in boot

that seems related to <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pcibios&sektion=4&manpath=OpenBSD+current&arch=i386">pcibios(4)</a>, you might have to disable the pcibios device as

a workaround. At the boot> prompt, type

"boot -c" to enter User Kernel Configuration. At the UKC> prompt,

enter "disable pcibios" then "quit". See

<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=config&sektion=8">config(8)</a> after a successful boot for instructions on how to re-write your kernel

to disable <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pcibios&sektion=4&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">pcibios(4)</a> permanently.
