313: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
314: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
315: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
316: <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
317:
318: <p>
319: Use <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyB39.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
320: support, or <i>CD1:3.9/i386/floppyC39.fs</i> for better laptop support.
321:
322: <p>
323: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
324: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
325: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
326:
327: <p>
328: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
329: read INSTALL.i386.
330:
331: <p>
332: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
333: at <i>CD1:3.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
1.44 steven 334: use the
1.59 sthen 335: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>

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

395:

397: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
398: To do so you need to write <i>CD3:3.9/sparc/floppy39.fs</i> to a floppy.
399: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
