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

365: <ul>
366: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
367: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
368: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
369: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
370:
371: <p>
1.49 jaredy 372: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 373: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
374:
375: <p>
376: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
377: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
378: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
379:
380: <p>
381: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
382: read INSTALL.i386.
383:
384: <p>
385: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
386: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
387: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
388: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.49 jaredy 389: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
390: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
