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

380: read INSTALL.i386.

382: <p>
383: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
384: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.82 tb 385: use the <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=
1.1 henning 386: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.82 tb 387: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.49 jaredy 388: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
