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

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