369: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
370: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
371: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

375: <ul>
376: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
377: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
378: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
379: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
380:
381: <p>
1.49 jaredy 382: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 383: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
384:
385: <p>
386: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
387: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
388: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
389:
390: <p>
391: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
392: read INSTALL.i386.
393:
394: <p>
395: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
396: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
397: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
398: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.49 jaredy 399: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
400: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
