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

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