321: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
322: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
323: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
324: <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
325:
326: <p>
327: Use <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyB38.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
328: support, or <i>CD1:3.8/i386/floppyC38.fs</i> for better laptop support.
329:
330: <p>
331: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
332: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
333: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
334:
335: <p>
336: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
337: read INSTALL.i386.
338:
339: <p>
340: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
341: at <i>CD1:3.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.49 ! beck 342: use the <a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=

369: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
370: your BIOS options first.
371: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
372: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.8/amd64/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy, then
373: boot from the floppy drive.
374:
375: <p>
376: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
377: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
378: INSTALL.amd64 document.
379:
380: <p>
381: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to

402:
403: <ul><pre>

410: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
411: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.8/sparc/floppy38.fs</i> to a floppy.
412: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
413: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
