334: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

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

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