353: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
354: <ul>
355: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
356: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
357: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
358: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
359:
360: <p>
1.49 jaredy 361: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 362: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
363:
364: <p>
365: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
366: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
367: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
368:
369: <p>
370: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
371: read INSTALL.i386.
372:
373: <p>
374: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
375: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
376: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
377: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.49 jaredy 378: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
379: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
1.1 henning 380: "rfd0a".

383: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
384: </pre></ul>
385:
386: <p>
387: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
388: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
389: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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