143: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
144: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

179: <p>
180: 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.
181:
182: <p>
183: Use <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyB31.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
184: support, or <i>CD1:3.1/i386/floppyC31.fs</i> for better laptop support.
185:
186: <p>
187: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
188:
189: <p>
1.8 ! miod 190: 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".

230: This command may not work on some older New World systems,
