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