150: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
151: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
152: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
153: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
154: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
155: purchased a CDROM instead.

181: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

183: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

1.1 deraadt 187: <ul>
188: <p>
189: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386 release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppy31.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
190:
191: <p>
192: Use <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyB31.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
193: support, or <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyC31.fs</i> for better laptop support.
194:
195: <p>
196: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
197:
198: <p>
1.8 miod 199: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at <i>CD:/3.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".
