325: <ul>
326: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
327: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
328: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
329: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
330:
331: <p>
1.49 jaredy 332: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 333: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
334:
335: <p>
336: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
337: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
338: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
339:
340: <p>
341: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
342: read INSTALL.i386.
343:
344: <p>
345: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
346: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
347: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=

1.49 jaredy 349: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

375: your BIOS options first.
376: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
377: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
378: boot from the floppy drive.
