318: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
319: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
320: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
321: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
322:
323: <p>
324: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
325: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
326:
327: <p>
328: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
329: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
330: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
331:
332: <p>
333: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
334: read INSTALL.i386.

337: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
338: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,

1.1 miod 342: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
343: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

359: <ul>
360: The 3.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
361: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
362: your BIOS options first.
363: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
364: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.9/amd64/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy, then
365: boot from the floppy drive.
366:
367: <p>
368: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
369: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
370: INSTALL.amd64 document.
371:
372: <p>
373: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
374: read INSTALL.amd64.

394:
395: <ul><pre>
396: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

400:
401: <p>
402: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
403: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
404: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
405: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
