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

410: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
