333: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
334: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
335: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

340: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
341: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
342: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.2 deraadt 343: <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppy35.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 deraadt 344:
345: <p>
1.2 deraadt 346: Use <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyB35.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
347: support, or <i>CD1:3.5/i386/floppyC35.fs</i> for better laptop support.

350: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
351: read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
352:
353: <p>
354: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
355: at <i>CD:/3.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
356: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
357: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
358: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)
359: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
