372: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
373: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

376: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
377: <ul>
378: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
379: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
380: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
381: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
382:
383: <p>
1.49 jaredy 384: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 385: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
386:
387: <p>
388: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
389: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
390: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
391:
392: <p>
393: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
394: read INSTALL.i386.
395:
396: <p>
397: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
398: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
399: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
400: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.49 jaredy 401: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
402: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
1.1 henning 403: "rfd0a".

406: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
407: </pre></ul>
408:

410: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
411: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
412: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
