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

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

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