289: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
290: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
291: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 292: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.

302: <p>
303: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
304: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
305: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=

307: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
