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

312:
313: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
314: <ul>
315: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
316: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
317: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
318: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
319:
320: <p>
1.49 jaredy 321: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 322: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
323:
324: <p>
325: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
326: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
327: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
328:
329: <p>
330: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
331: read INSTALL.i386.
332:
333: <p>
334: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
335: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
336: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
337: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.49 jaredy 338: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
339: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

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

362: The 3.7 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
363: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
364: your BIOS options first.
365: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
366: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
367: boot from the floppy drive.
368:
369: <p>
370: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
371: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
372: INSTALL.amd64 document.
373:
374: <p>
375: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
