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

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

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

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

1.2 miod 343:
344: <p>
345: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
346: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
