317: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
318: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
319: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
320: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
321:
322: <p>
323: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
324: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.

327: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
328: you can install across the network using PXE as described in

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

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

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