321: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
322: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
323: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 324: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 325:
326: <p>
1.2 deraadt 327: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
328: support, or <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyC35.fs</i> for better laptop support.

331: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
332: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
333:
334: <p>
335: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
336: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
337: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
338: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
339: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
340: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
