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

363: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
364: <ul>
365: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
366: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
367: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
368: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
369:
370: <p>
1.49 jaredy 371: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 372: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
373:
374: <p>
375: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
376: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
377: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
378:
379: <p>
380: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
381: read INSTALL.i386.
382:
383: <p>
384: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
385: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
386: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
387: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.49 jaredy 388: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
389: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

395:

398: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
399: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
