175: 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.
176:
177: <p>
178: Use <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyB31.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
179: support, or <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyC31.fs</i> for better laptop support.
180:
181: <p>
182: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
183:
184: <p>
1.36 tb 185: 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="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".
