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

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

309: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

311: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
312:
1.2 miod 313: <p>
314: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
315: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
316: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
317: <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppy36.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
318:
319: <p>
320: Use <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyB36.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
321: support, or <i>CD1:3.6/i386/floppyC36.fs</i> for better laptop support.
322:
323: <p>
324: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
325: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
326: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
327:
328: <p>
329: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
330: read INSTALL.i386.
331:
332: <p>
333: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
334: at <i>CD1:3.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.60 bentley 335: use the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
336: utility. The following is an example usage of
337: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)
1.2 miod 338: </a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
339: "rfd0a".

1.2 miod 344:
345: <p>
346: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
347: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
