342: <ul>
343: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
344: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
345: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
346: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
347:
348: <p>
349: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
350: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
351:
352: <p>
353: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
354: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
355: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
356:
357: <p>
358: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
359: read INSTALL.i386.
360:
361: <p>
362: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
363: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
364: use the
365: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
366: utility. The following is an example usage of
367: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
368: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

376: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
377: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
378: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

385: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
386: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
387: your BIOS options first.
388: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
389: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
390: boot from the floppy drive.
391:
392: <p>
393: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
