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

303: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
304: <ul>
305: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
306: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
307: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
308: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
309:
310: <p>
1.49 jaredy 311: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 312: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
313:
314: <p>
315: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
316: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
317: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
318:
319: <p>
320: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
321: read INSTALL.i386.
322:
323: <p>
324: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
325: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
326: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
327: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.49 jaredy 328: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
329: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

335:
336: <p>
337: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
338: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
339: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

352: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
353: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
354: your BIOS options first.
355: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
356: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
357: boot from the floppy drive.
358:
