308: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
309: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
310: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
311: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
312:
313: <p>
314: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
315: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
316:
317: <p>
318: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

350: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
351: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
352: your BIOS options first.
353: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
354: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
355: boot from the floppy drive.
356:

626: <p>
627: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

629: <p>
630: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
