362: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
363: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
364: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
365: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
366:
367: <p>
1.49 jaredy 368: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller

381: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
382: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.77 sthen 383: use the <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=
1.1 henning 384: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.77 sthen 385: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
