362: <ul>
363: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
364: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
365: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
366: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
367:
368: <p>
1.49 jaredy 369: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 370: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
371:
372: <p>
373: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
374: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
375: the included INSTALL.i386 document.

378: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
379: read INSTALL.i386.
380:
381: <p>
382: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
383: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.77 ! sthen 384: use the <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=
1.1 henning 385: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.77 ! sthen 386: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.49 jaredy 387: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
