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

335: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
336: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.44 steven 337: use the
338: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>

1.1 miod 340: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
341: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

349: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or

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

392:
393: <ul><pre>
394: ok <strong>boot cdrom 3.9/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

398:
399: <p>
400: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
401: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
402: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
403: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
