371: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

374: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
375: <ul>
376: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
377: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
378: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
379: <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
380:
381: <p>
382: Use <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyB41.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
383: support, or <i>CD1:4.1/i386/floppyC41.fs</i> for better laptop support.
384:
385: <p>
386: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
387: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
388: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
389:
390: <p>
391: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
392: read INSTALL.i386.
393:
394: <p>
395: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
396: at <i>CD1:4.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
397: use the
1.104 sthen 398: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 399: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.104 sthen 400: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 401: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

420: your BIOS options first.
421: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
422: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.1/amd64/floppy41.fs</i> to a floppy, then
423: boot from the floppy drive.
