353: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=

373: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
374: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
375: your BIOS options first.
376: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
377: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
378: boot from the floppy drive.
379:
380: <p>
381: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
